Dirty Goddess

No.9 Cork Street, London

April 2025

Susan McDonald’s solo exhibition with 58 works on canvas, board and paper.

Dirty Goddess intertwines mythology, personal history, and intimate confession, creating a body of work that is both timeless and deeply personal. The title reflects a powerful duality - an embrace of both the sacred and the raw, the divine and the earthly. McDonald’s work reclaims the image of the goddess, as a fully embodied woman, shaped by her history and desires.
