Malcolm MacDougall has worked as a sculptor in the Lower Hudson Valley since 2011. He has been teaching sculpture within CUNY since 2013 and currently teaches bronze casting and sculpture classes at Queens College. 

Malcolm endeavors for his sculptures to enter into a dialogue with the natural landscape. He concentrates on studying materials and their properties in relationship to the natural versus man-made environs. Referring to his sculptures as landscape “chapter objects,” they allude to other material experiences, as a chapter in a story may refer to others, helping to unite a holistic meaning between the natural and fabricated, real and abstract, concrete and metaphorical. These objects are conduits to broader thoughts and experiences. As a symbol of both the natural and manmade constructs around us, his sculptures create an awareness of industrial materials, with those which are invented blurred against those which are natural, imploring the viewer to appreciate the aesthetic qualities of all. Through fluid, albeit solid, forms, Malcolm’s landscape-driven works allow one to discover a personal concept or image in the work.
