## RSA New Contemporaries 2025 Kirsty E. MacDonald

Kirsty E. MacDonald was our joint winner in this year’s *New Contemporaries* Exhibition. Her work draws on Scotland’s botanical heritage, working with natural pigments and sustainable materials to explore the relationship between plants, and climate consciousness. The work is rooted in a deep love for the rural landscape, tempered with an awareness of living in the age of the Anthropocene. There is a quiet stoicism in this practice, acknowledging that tradition and ecological urgency must coexist. Kirsty also studied at Gray’s School of Art.
