Euan Macdonald

Artist’s Statement

I am interested in dynamics of change- the effects of time and chance on pictorial and social conditions. My work tries to question the appearance of things, beginning with the presupposition that their images are inherently deceptive and that they are connected within a network of relationships based on illusions.
