Richard MacDonald has always been intrigued by opposites and he has the range to be able to create both sculptures of delicate, archetypal femininity and powerful, athletic masculinity. In Doves, we see the combination of both: the softness and delicacy of the female and the strength and power of the male. In this work MacDonald employs effective use of the Baroque Spiral to achieve wonderful movement the piece seems to ethereally take flight creating a passionate image of love and devotion. Originally inspired by the Bolshois performance entitled The Doves', MacDonald's interpretation brings classical ballet into heartened focus.
