DUNCAN McKELLAR
My work addresses social interaction, global inter-connectivity, borders and a sense of place. I create artworks which involve large numbers of people making powerful statements of unity using mirrors and reflected sunlight.
These pieces embody protest, beauty and the power of the collective.
