This collection of four cups by McDonald are almost organic in form, the clay pushed and pinched instinctively, the glazes in subtle, earthy tones.

Kaye McDonald is a painter and ceramicist who has a continuing fascination with repetition and mark making. Many of her 2D works represent pure abstraction, revealing a sensitive consideration of composition, colour and energy. Her recent works are something between a star-scape and white noise, where patterns of linework and dots are applied to the surface of the paper using various mediums such ink and paint pen over a transparent background of watercolour wash. Her paintings have a gentle and timeless quality, while ger 3D sculptures have a playfulness about them.

McDonald has worked in the Arts Project Australia since 1988. She held her first solo exhibition in 2019 and has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions. Her work is held in corporate and private collections throughout Australia.
