Diana Earth Moon is the result of the artist's six-month quest for the idealized feminine form. The myth of Diana as goddess is well integrated into the sculpture. We witness the strength and power of the feminine personality in the figure as she stands on the Earth and holds the moon, her symbol, above her head. Diana is at the same time grace and power - physically seductive and emotionally ethereal - solid as the earth and as mysterious as the moon.
In 2014 and 2015, Richard MacDonald focused intently on the minerals and pigments of his patina process - specifically on the color red. Shortly thereafter, the artist revealed his discoveries in a new exhibition entitled “Richard MacDonald: Red.” The exhibition, which highlights MacDonald's creative immersion into the hue, the emotion, and narrative of color, represents a profound new direction in the artist's work.
