Drawing from the visual language of advertising, gaming, children’s television, and social media, Maclean creates immersive worlds populated by exaggerated characters and hyper-saturated imagery. Her recent series MAMA (2024), developed through a combination of generative AI and painting while caring for her new-born daughter, reimagines the idealised iconography of motherhood through glitchy, unsettling, and excessive compositions. Combining Rococo aesthetics with the visual codes of baby showers, gender reveals, and algorithmically generated imagery, the works collapse distinctions between intimacy and spectacle, sincerity and performance. Through humour and distortion, Maclean exposes how femininity and domestic life are continually staged and commodified within contemporary image culture.
