Tracing symbolic links between craft, memory, ecology, and feminine agency, Meaghan Shelton's new work and PhD exhibition, contributes to new conversations at the intersection of creative practice, feminist thinking, and contemporary visual culture.

Adopting a feminist framework, Shelton redresses traditional connections and inner landscapes of the feminine, unravelling historical conflations of women and their sense of self as cultural 'others'.

Shelton not only exposes historically marginalised female experiences but reimagines these inequalities in an effort to make them visible.

Drawing on threads of women’s experiences across time, referencing traditional art historical narratives and representations of women, Shelton seeks to communicate women’s knowledge embedded in domestic craft.

A transdisciplinary artist, working at the nexus of art/craft practice, across painting, sculpture and textiles, Shelton also seeks to activate women’s agency and provide the opportunity for individual and generational healing.

Meaghan Shelton is supported by the Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Stipend and RTP Fee- Offset Scholarship through Queensland University of Technology.
