In the Female Cheetah, MacDonald creates a unique composition with tremendous movement. The coiled formation of the female cheetah is skillfully executed and charged with energy and we can anticipate the powerful release to follow. The visceral qualities of the surface further enhance this idea. In a precisely balanced figure, the 'face forward' nature of the moment chosen by the artist gives this piece a bold, daring, and powerful character.
