Euan Macdonald works in several media in order to distill meaning down to its essence. Macdonald is able to cleverly isolate an experience or a moment in time and present it in a manner that is at once light and comical, but also deeply profound. His subtle explorations provide the viewer with representations of simple, everyday moments and in sharing these occasions, the viewer is offered an opportunity to find existential meaning in often overlooked places.
