Eurydice III, Red
2015
Eurydice is a part of a long sculptural tradition of taking elements and placing them in different contexts to create entirely new meanings, and evoking entirely different emotions. Rodin brought this method of seeing “anew” into the modern era. The female figure of Eurydice III, is taken the narrative context of Orpheus and Eurydice, and now exists as an exemplar of female beauty.

The Artist's Touch
Richard MacDonald’s method of working by directly observing a living model is becoming increasingly rare amongst artists of our time. Developing the sensitivity and facility to watch a person in motion and capture anatomy, movement, mood, and personality in clay is an extraordinarily complex and demanding task, yet the quality of the work speaks to the vitality, energy, and power made possible by this experience.
