About the Item

Considered by many to be one of the most iconic works in the collection, Butterfly, Half life represents the culmination of two decades of work by the artist. This introspective and emotional work addresses the cycle of life through the metamorphosis of the butterfly. Combining the use of texture, patina, and the baroque spiral, MacDonald constructs this unique story. With his hands and arms forming an abstract butterfly, the mime becomes the butterfly and in releasing the butterfly symbolically sets himself free. Signed in the bronze by the artist.

The Baroque spiral of the body and constant motion rises out of swirling earthy beginnings. The patina adds color and dynamic movement by creating tones, values, and pattern to emphasize the concept, and creatively underscore the message of spiritual release and personal freedom.
