The work of Patricia Murphy Macdonald unfolds in a variety of ways frequently blown up larger than life. Her interests are in things close at hand, objects that find themselves added to the melting pot of images to which she creates her own view of a personal, domestic world.
Though it is a domestic culture understood with the broader context of popular culture, Macdonald traverses the line between the banal, the romantic, the beautiful, and the unsettling. The paintings aim to retain an economy of sentiment, and project a sense of irony and whim. |
