J McDonald is an artist and designer based in Brooklyn, NY. His otherworldly furniture and sculpture and architecture challenges and illuminates our contemporary relationship with the natural and built environments. Fascinated by the tensions between humanity and the natural world, as well as between our logical and intuitive minds, his work brings the dominant rectilinearity and clean minimalism of human rationalism to confront the chaotic, organic, and intuitive forces that lie, often dormant, deep within us. Working in the space between art and architecture, between sculpture and furniture, his work incorporates ideas around nature, space, tactility, intuition, and the human condition to inspire unique constructions that examine and redefine our perception and experience of the world, ourselves, and the relationship between the two.
