Local artist Joanne MacDonald has shown her work extensively in Calgary and a number of her commissioned works can be seen around the city.
Her dynamic welded metal forms utilize found, natural and upcycled materials, working both in response to and intuitively with each in combination with each other.
Upcycled train ties become lyrical and linear maquettes and polished steel orbs provide a point of entry - a space to take in the form and it’s balance in space.
Many of her works are also kinetic in nature and will sway and lilt with human interaction.
