Jennifer Elizabeth McNeil
Jennifer Elizabeth McNeil is a multidisciplinary artist based in Glasgow, working in mediums including sculpture, photography, performance and painting. Inspired by ever adventurous and distant dog walks, in an attempt to escape the constraints of society, this work is made in a cathartic response to both personal and worldly anxieties. The autoethnographic is employed to examine themes of motherhood, the domestic, domestication and human and animal relations. Psychoanalysis, the role of capitalism and storytelling are considered in relation to forms of control.
Jennifer Elizabeth McNeil completed her BA in Fine Art at Glasgow School of Art in 2021. Jennifer was awarded the Royal Glasgow Institute Graduate Award, 2021 and was a FUTUREPROOF 2021 selected artist at Stills Gallery in Edinburgh. She is a recipient of the Hope Scott Postgraduate Scholarship and an awardee of the Sutherland Page Trust.
Works
Kitchen Midden Dog
A woman walks alone in a forest. She must go far, far away as her dog is ‘reactive’. The woman wanted to escape – was pushed further and further afield to be alone.
She would feel an overwhelming guilt if her dog could never run free. So she found a place, far, far away, where they could all be free.
She is peaceful and it is wild.
In memory of Avi.
