Mackie is best known for her multi-layered sculptural installations, operating as tangents and abstractions of the artist’s meditations on materiality, sculpture and the natural world, which can be emotional, physical or socio-political. Mackie uses a wide variety of sources and materials ranging from biomedical data and geological field-research to watercolour techniques and artisanal sculptural processes. The works often take the form of sculptural tableaux, extrapolated from prolonged engagement and interrogation of her chosen materials
