Overview

Shot in and around his studio in the north of Ibiza, MacKinnon’s art and practice become the subject of an intimate documentary, capturing the conflict and instinctual approach that serves as the backbone of his work, the film navigates the complex interplay of feelings given life through his paintings – and the powerlessness of not knowing the direction a piece might take.
