Allan McDonald creates and mixes typologies derived over long periods of time from our social landscape. This exhibition gathers together a series of images that walk a thin and broken line between the wild and the domestic.
Did my father, mother, uncle, aunt, brothers or sisters, ever see a white bear? What would they give? How would they behave? How would the white bear have behaved? Is he wild? Tame? Terrible? Rough? Smooth? Is the white bear worth seeing?
- Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, 1759
