Méabh’s work is an exploration of everyday objects and acts, how we as bodies interact with and through them and the ways they can make us think and feel. But most importantly it aims to emphasise how they ultimately and inherently connect us to one another and society as a whole. They use ceramics, metal and the body as materials, tools and sources of inspiration and understanding in the creation of both functional and sculptural objects. Their immersive installations are ‘autotopographies’ of evocative and affective objects that resonate with viewers in thinking and feeling ways, engaging the head, hands and heart in their construction and consideration. These objects tend to have close ties to the body and its necessary functions – for example eating, shitting, crying, sleeping – and cause us to stop and think about our existence, mortality and essence. Méabh is particularly interested in the idea of the abject, and how we often invent tools in order to distance ourselves from the things that can remind us of our bodiliness and fragility a little too much.
