Biography

Jessica MacDonald is an interdisciplinary artist working in new media, film, theatre, music, performance and community arts. A graduate of NSCAD University, she works with Wonder’neath open studio and sits on the boards of various local arts societies. Her art practice touches on themes of play, process, identity, objects, invisible illness, consumerism and obsolescence, often using humour to examine the relationships between people, technology, things, the environment, and permanence versus ephemerality. Through the use of reclaimed materials, interactivity and immersion, Jess works with the subversion of expectations towards a radical reimagining of what art can mean.
