Megan Queenan (b.1998, Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scottish artist who creates conceptual installation-based artwork. Her current practice has emerged from her recent education at The Glasgow School of Art.

The work reflects the artist’s personal interests in sci-fi, horror, vintage technology, human psychology, nostalgia, and the phenomenon of death denial. Queenan is interested in the impossible conversations of the everyday and the way the human brain conflates the unexplained with the paranormal- specifically technological anomalies.

Crafting sculptural pieces and incorporating unconventional methods of printmaking, she creates motifs of so-called “defunct” devices- a modern-day memento mori of forgotten technology and the passage of time. The artist primarily incorporates casted objects which, through the process of recontextualising materials, have stripped the older devices they are sourced from of any remaining functionality they once had. These are shown in contrast alongside functioning mechanics which often interact with these lifeless models creating arbitrary networks and secret, non-descript, conversations.

Queenan aims to change the ways in which we talk about and perceive death within our own individual communities, shifting the narrative of death as something to vanquish, and instead embracing its presence in our lives and to consider how the digital imprints (ghosts) of ourselves that we leave behind will be handled posthumously.
