Still within original plastic wrap. London. All Visual. 2011. Soft Covers. Full width French flaps. Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name 17 November 2011 to 16 December 2011. Beautiful illustrations in colour throughout. Copse is Mackie's largest installation to date. Twenty seven pine trees stand incongruously in mid-transformation creating a pseudo-forest within the stark white space of the gallery. between what it was and what it will become, the stripped tree tops balancing upon identikit table legs. The juxtaposition of the raw natural elements of the tree with the carefully carved table legs demonstrates Mackie s continuing interest in the interconnectivity of the traditionally opposed ideas of wild and civilised. Mackie s work is suspended between alternate worlds, neither fully natural nor completely man-made. The ambiguity of Copse follows the path set out by Mackie s early works, its undefined status and meaning being its greatest strength.
