MacDonald’s paintings challenge the pre-established aesthetic hierarchy by creating a visual language out of diminutive and feminine things. Her still-life arrangements - first “sketched” using 3D software and documented as paintings -  depict intimate and destructive relationships between objects as an exploration of what it means to embrace femininity and power.
