Margaret Meehan
American
American, b. 1970
Margaret Meehan has always been interested in the body. Not necessarily in the way it works, but more in how it has been perceived throughout history. She is curious about the intersections of teratology and history which give basis to an anxiety about the body and the act of living. Her work focuses on women and individuals who have been depicted as monsters. Drawing from film, music and popular culture, but also family folklore and traditional crafts. Pulling from the past as well as the present, her work is predicated on the treatment of others, visually referencing patterns of behavior in multiple parts of society at multiple times.
With images culled from history and literature, Margaret Meehan's delicately handles a variety of media ranging from photography to sculpture, installation and sound. Her carefully choreographed works let innocence collide with the monstrous, evoking race, gender, and empathy for otherness.
Margaret Meehan earned her MFA from the University of Washington in Seattle. She has earned numerous awards and residencies nationally including; Nasher Sculpture Center Microgrant (2015), Artpace Artist in Residence Program, San Antonio, TX (2014); The Lighthouse Works Fellowship, Fishers Island, NY (2013), Bemis, Omaha, NE (2009), the Dozier Travel Grant, Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX (2008), the Milton & Sally Avery Arts Foundation Fellow, NY, NY (2003), Millay Colony (2003), the Vermont Studio Center, Scholarship, Johnson, VT (2002), the Artist Trust, GAP Grant, Seattle, WA (2000), Greenwich House Pottery, New York, NY (2003), Millay Colony for the Arts, Austerlitz, NY (2003), and the Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT (2002).
She has shown at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, The Dallas Museum of Art, Soil Gallery in Seattle, Flowers Gallery in London, David Shelton Gallery in Houston, and Conduit Gallery in Dallas, among others.
