Caroline Macdonald is an Oxford based printmaker. Her practice navigates the space between the physical and digital, where history is fragmented and reimagined into new contemporaneous forms. She uses the language of error; the slip and blur of the digital glitch to create chromatic fissures which dissolve the usual boundaries between past and present, object and image, physical and digital. She treats the museum like a garden, a site of cultivation, harvesting artifacts and imagery ripe for the picking to reflect on her personal history and our collective moment. Drawing, photography and painting begin the process, capturing fragments in galleries. Back in the studio, these are unravelled and reconstructed with digital and photographic technology. Like a trompe-l'œil, her process can look entirely digital, in fact it is very carefully constructed from analogue print techniques. Caroline has exhibited in multiple group exhibitions and Print fairs in the UK. She is the recipient of the first prize for the Macfarlanes Art prize with New Platform Art 2026 and the editorial prize as part of the RBSA Print Biennale 2024 awarded by Printmaking Today. She holds an MA in Print from Royal College of Art
