A series of expanded drawing works created using foraged plant matter, earth pigments, pencil, plastic, salt, food dye, tree sap, and cyanotype processes.Through foraging and direct engagement with ecology and environment, MacLeod cultivates an embodied connection to place.These works emerge as site-responsive reflections on the landscapes and seascapes of Scotland and South East Queensland.
