Niamh Seana Meehan is an interdisciplinary artist. She uses her practice to question her own process and direct life experiences. Her practice is a composition of images. The images are not performances or installations, but attempts to visually articulate an archive of activities. She uses her research, to explore philological ideologies, including ideas such as the philosophy of nothingness, emptiness, failure within language. Through her practice Meehan creates characters that interrogate her research questions, focusing on contingent choices and how to portray the embodied experience. The research will shift between the process of making and reflecting. The pirouetting act of self- reflection creates practical activity, which thus allows theoretical investigation. Meehan’s practice challenges the role of the viewer, she wants them to become an active participant (without even knowing that they are).
