Forming images from loss

Meredith’s work claims tender observation, entanglement, and destruction as methods of expansion into the polarizing wreckage of the present. Creating through layers of application and removal, she utilizes careful rendering alongside carving, sanding, and burning, to form images from loss. Alongside acrylic, pastel, and ink, she is drawn to materials which diffuse or reflect light in varying degrees — such as silk, mirrors, and raw mineral pigments — to make paintings that interact with the surroundings as a phenomenological object rather than as mere image. Through lush interplay of color, texture, and light, representational compositions become moments of devotion to what is already and what is not yet.

Meredith’s work has been featured in exhibitions in Columbus, Washington D.C., Boston, New York City, and Orvieto, Italy. She completed her BA at Gordon College in Studio Art, and the History of Ideas in Fine Art. She is pursuing her MFA at Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia.
