Artist Residency Exhibition: Meagan Killian
Join us in celebrating the culmination of a three-month artist residency featuring Meagan Killian, a painter and sculpture artist visiting from Texas. During her time in Manchester, she immersed themselves in the local creative community. Meeting fellow artists, visiting galleries and organizations throughout New Hampshire, and exploring the region’s landscapes and culture.
Meagan Killian (portfolio)
From conception to human form, the embryo weaves a new thread of its history with every stage of development. Cells become increasingly active, refining systems and functions that will endure beyond the protection of the womb and through the experiences of life. This series explores the continuity of history, memory, and inheritance through the convergence of architectural lineage, heredity, and nature.Drawing from cathedrals across various historical periods, the work reflects on how influence is passed from one generation to the next. Just as architectural forms evolve through centuries of adaptation, genetic traits are inherited and carried forward through successive generations. By intertwining these lineages, the series considers how identity, memory, and form are continually shaped through inheritance and change. Through visual collisions of the ornate and the corporeal, these works blur the boundary between sacred structure and flesh
