Melissa McGill’s investigative process yields objects that speak as much about the history and memory of the physical forms from which they originate as they do about our own experience of memory and time.
McGill works in a number of materials ranging from blown glass to cast rubber and porcelain. In many of her signature works she has taken familiar objects such as small porcelain figurines and casts their hollow interior spaces to make positive versions of void spaces that have a faint and almost ghostly resemblance to their outer shells. Her works have an elusive ability to be both alien in the spaces that they occupy while in their near human scale have a commonality through their corporeal relations as well.
Melissa McGill was born in 1969 in Rhode Island. She now lives and works in New York City.
Melissa McGill is also represented by Galleria Marabini, Bologna, Italy, Skestos Gabriele Gallery, Chicago, and Rebecca Ibel Gallery, Columbus, OH. |
