'Organic Mechanisms', an exhibition that features paintings, wall hangings, collage, and relief panels by Meghan Bailey, will be on view at Washington Street Gallery from April 8 – April 29, 2023. The opening reception is Saturday, April 15, 2023, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. and is open to the public (masks required).Bailey’s current body of work transforms the imagery of discarded machines using abstraction, design, pattern, and bright Pop colors. Exploration with paint, collage, hand printing, and marker shifts the machinery into repurposed but impractical forms. The resulting forms suggest invented, hybrid mechanisms that merge mechanical features with natural and decorative qualities.'Organic Mechanisms' features artworks Bailey created while completing her Masters of Fine Art (MFA) at Lesley University College of Art & Design in Cambridge, Massachusetts from 2021 to 2023. Bailey also holds a Bachelors in Fine Arts (BFA) in Painting from Massachusetts College of Art and Design.Meghan Bailey was born in Lawrence and lives in Arlington.
