For over a decade, MacLeod has used her collection of postcards that caricature drinking and drunkenness to develop of a series of sculptures and collages—the most recent iteration is currently reflected at Malaspina Printermakers Society’s window displays at 1265 Howe Street.

In this exhibition, the profile of a woman’s face is mirrored, tiled into a repeating pattern, silkscreened onto bespoke fabric, upholstered onto a chair, printed on craft paper, and used to wrap 'Christmas' gifts.

The installation of the objects presents a lonely narrative that is festive, yet bleak.

Unopened gifts sit beneath an artificial black undecorated Christmas tree; the empty chair is angled downstage under warm spotlights; and, the entire scene is backlit by an ambient grinch-like green glow.

The exhibition engages with the history and conventions of window display, drawing upon the early design work of Andy Warhol for high-end department store Bonwit Teller for inspiration. Her installation in the window galleries at 1265 Howe Street combines 1960s pop culture lyrics of Cold War angst with comical illustrations of a looming hangover, resulting in a satirical staging of the holiday blues.
