Orkney artist Sam MacDonald's work is becoming increasingly well known. Sam creates impressions of fish and sea-life in various states using the tactile. He has exhibited widely including most recently at the CLA Game Fair at Blenheim Palace.

Sam's interest tends towards the reputedly 'ugly' and predatory side of the sea. The ecology of the sea and all water-life is of great concern to Sam, as is the question of what will be left to become fossilized from the age we live in. Many of his works echo his concerns.

In some pieces the fish appear between large sheets of metal as if viewed through the remains of a sunken superstructure. Gold leaf is also used to accentuate the flash of a synchronized turn of many separate creatures. He enjoys the decorative aspect of the metal and seeks to balance shapes and colors. Developing concepts on composition, he creates pieces with larger areas of plain sheet metal and patination in blocks so the viewer can respond emotionally to the base metal.

山姆鐘情于海洋所謂“丑陋”和弱肉強(qiáng)食的一面。對(duì)于山姆來(lái)說(shuō)，海洋生態(tài)和所有的水生物都是重要的，例如山姆會(huì)擔(dān)心在我們生活的時(shí)代當(dāng)中會(huì)留給后世怎樣的化石。他的許多作品都響應(yīng)了他的擔(dān)憂。

在某些作品當(dāng)中的魚在一片片的金屬之間浮現(xiàn)，仿佛是透過(guò)一艘沉沒(méi)巨艦的殘骸中看過(guò)去一樣。他還會(huì)利用金箔去突出一大群魚同時(shí)轉(zhuǎn)向時(shí)閃爍的光芒。他喜好金屬的裝飾功能，尋求在形狀與顏色之間取得平衡。在構(gòu)圖的概念方面，他運(yùn)用了大面積的金屬片和層疊的薄片，務(wù)求令觀賞者能夠?qū)ψ畹讓拥慕饘僮龀龈行缘姆磻?yīng)。
