Margaret Meehan

With images of Victoriana, feral behavior, medical anomalies and barren landscapes, Margaret Meehan’s work proposes a choreographed fight outside the circled square. Her drawings, photography and sculpture-based installations, derived from 19th c. cabinet cards, let the innocent collide with the monstrous, evoking race, gender, and empathy for otherness. She writes for Glasstire.com and lives and works in Austin where she teaches at the University of Texas. Her work has been shown at Soil Gallery in Seattle and Road Agent, Mulcahy Modern and Marty Walker Gallery in Dallas, TX among others. Meehan’s work was included in the exhibition Pretty Baby curated by Andrea Karnes at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in 2007.
