Born in Coventry - UK 1985

A major concern of the current practice is how value might be placed on ‘artworks’. Works develop out of philosophical/metaphysical questions, such as the notion of nothingness. These issues are addressed though photography, film and text. When trying to write about nothing, I ultimately begin to define it, making it something. Attempts to make a photographic image of nothing render my incapability to do so, thus developing the paradoxical state that my practice works in. These processes in turn create ephemeral and evolving works, aiming to subvert the apparent model for and making art important. This aim is heavily influenced through researching the writing of former Art & Language member Terry Atkinson. Can I make apparent nothing important or valued? Every work is an attempt to understand my own scopophilic tendencies of why I need to make, photograph or film things. The works are the results of methodical processes documenting the concerns of each piece. The intention most often is to strip away the meaning of each image or sound to form an unimportant surface, which ironically may become valued as an artwork. This is where my own problematic relationship with aesthetic pleasure is embodied.

Patrick Meagher Artists Statement 2008
Architecture, technology and economics revolving around the internet at the turn of the millennium is the central theme in my artwork. Connected
by conceptual, visual and material points across a range of media and styles, my work explores transitions within the new economy concerning
globalization, informatization, and intercultural communication.

Employing digital tools on a conceptual basis throughout my studio process, I’m collaging and hybridizing utopian commercial aesthetics as
a visual language reflecting on the massive changes brought about by distributed media.

Currently I’m working on three ongoing suites corresponding to the three time phases of the millennial shift: “Postscript to Modernism”, “The
Desktop Revolution”, and “New Era Consciousness”- respectively revealing subtle cultural traces in Styrofoam electronics packaging forms,mapping the new global vocabulary of ecommerce web buttons, and intuiting and distilling local, state & municipal logos into 21st century symbols and analogs for fundamental psychological states heightened by emerging technologies.
