Curated by Jillian Mcdonald, the exhibition features four video artists who perform in their own videos using low tech, do-it-yourself methods. All four artists take found media as a starting point - whether Hollywood films, archival interviews, or an audio tape found in a junk shop; humour and a sense of absurd pathos run throughout the work.
Zombies!
Jillian Mcdonald is exhibiting recent videos and drawings that focus on the canon of American horror film and "fear as entertainment" exemplified in that genre. Unlike contemporary horror film itself, her artwork eschews extreme gore and violence in favor of stripped-down narrative, plot, and archetypes.
More Fog Rolls in
Some images from the last of the fog fakery this week, and my last hikes (for now) through the woods surrounding Dufftown. Four more sleeps till Brooklyn…
The Fog
Starting new work, which I’ve been wanting to shoot for ages. Just worked out the details, locations, and the weather is finally (on April 4th) warm enough to linger outside without full Arctic gear. Here are some stills from the footage of two days filming.
The Fog…
New drawing… snapshots…
I completed a drawing this week that features all the ghostly masked figures in Valley of the Deer. Yet to be titled and photographed properly. These are studio details…
Drawing is 88″ X 29.5″ or 224cm X 75cm.

VALLEY OF THE DEER
“Canadian video artist Jillian McDonald spent much of the past year as ‘artist in residence’ at Glenfiddich Distillery, in the highlands of Scotland. As a Burns’ Night tribute to both Art and Whisky, IDEAS host Paul Kennedy visits her in Dufftown, and watches while she makes single-malted art.”
