Chrissie Macdonald is an artist who 's 3D work elicits a sense of curiosity, which is inherently a positive, yet self indulgent trait. The perfect Euclidean geometry (unconcerned with hyperbolic and elliptic geometry) in her work is hastily positioned in its surroundings, and reverts to an imperfect state of being, which often looks unfinished and thus uncomfortable. This offers little if no comfort for the viewer.
In this piece the geometric shapes have taken on the characteristics of a wall climbing plant. By using unnatural materials (metallic objects, artificial light) to recreate a natural scene she produces an eerie, uncanny effect.
