Vivienne Of Amourous (Grace MacDonald)

Darkness and emotion are distilled into form using time-honoured techniques, creating a liminal space where trauma and nature collide, leaving humanity to explore what they find aesthetically unnerving. My work decapitates all notions of sanity and creates a familiar yet uncomfortable space that will make the viewer question not only the mental state of me, the artist, but themselves as well. Grime and darkness seize control of my work.

There is no escape from humanity's raw unpleasantries of everyday, so why not externalize those emotions into art? Every visceral and uncomfortable moment is an opportunity for greater internal understanding. Within each sculpture, brush stroke or pencil line, I trap these raw feelings that fester and conceptualize as much as humanly possible.
