Genesis

2020

Genesis is an expression of tenderness and passion, with the intertwined figures conveying a sense of bliss and fulfillment. The column is a depiction of the spiraling infusion of DNA from the beginning of life and the continuation of human creation. Organic in its beauty, the bodies of the two are drawn together in a flowing composition that recalls the natural world of all living things. Human desire culminates in unity, balance, and an unending continuity. In the bond between man and woman there is a universal sense that two can become one, in mind, body, and spirit, and this connection is the ultimate expression of opposites forming a union that is perfect and complete.

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.
