Your Heart to a Dog to tear

Ranald MacDonald (B. 1994.) studied at The Slade School Of Art and City and Guilds Of London Art School for his BA, which he completed in 2020. He completed his postgraduate at The Royal Drawing School in 2022

“This work is part of an ongoing series of images focusing on dogs in parks and cats in domestic spaces. Im interested in the way human beings respond to animals and the fuzzy line we draw between ourselves and what we think of as ‘nature’. Focusing on how these ideas can extend into the materials I use has led me to work with pigments that are collected from London parks and streets (by artist Lucy Mayes) and to work on found wooden boards and recycled paper.”
