Brigid Meredith is a Melbourne/Naarm based artist investigating materials and their agency. Working in sculpture, painting and installation, Meredith is interested in the way that different materials behave and how they can evoke tactile and sensory encounters that act beyond language. ​

 

Approaching her practice in an intuitive and expressive manner, her work is influenced by Posthumanist concepts. The human/nature binary has similarities with the object/subject binary – as one is usually dominated and subjugated by the other. Post Humanism suggests multiple ways of flattening these binaries, not only in an artistic sense but also in the social, political etc. Moving to an approach of exchange and reciprocity can have interesting and liberating effects on the material, artist and audience. By exploring these concepts in her practice, Meredith seeks to evoke the 'Posthuman Feminist sublime' - in both an aesthetic and somatic sense.
