Lulu MacDonald's work begins way back when the pen first touches the page. Fundamental and crucial moments of art history’s mark-making are spliced, cut and pasted onto the installation sculptures. Minuscule fragments of the artist’s process, studio or desktop, are dragged, exaggerated and exasperated onto and into shapes. Sculptures sometimes so flat they are read as images and, at other times, images so multi-dimensional they can only be described as sculptural. Activating and imagining the hand that drew them, the finger that manipulated them and the room that exists around them, the works have a performance space all to their own. Lulu's works reference boundaries metaphorically, physically and politically. When and where does one thing end and the next begin? The edges and surfaces only begin to explain the discourse surrounding today’s slippery image-consuming present, haunted by the ghouls of art history's past.
