Forrest MacDonald

Visual artist whose art involves around themes of interdependence of mutually dependent life forms, the transitory nature of existence, urban street culture and re-purposing personal obsolete technologies into sculptures.

His recent project "Comrades Interrupted" is meant to facilitate conversations on love and loneliness, war and peace and what it means to find a human connection.
