Excerpt, Chicago Reader, December 30 2005, interview with Fred Camper

"Shona Macdonald’s abstracted landscapes at the Chicago Cultural Center are precisely detailed and otherworldly. Each of the more than 100 shapes in Isles #1 looks like a different protozoan, and variable shadings add to their strangeness. The forms in Mountains, Craters, Shells, seem to rise together out of emptiness: as if in an alchemical reaction, small creates large."
