Margaret Seymour

Margaret Seymour explores how technology shapes human experience, though her work is not always screen-based. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, she creates objects and installations that examine how contemporary life is influenced by both technological and living systems. More recently, her practice has turned to diurnal patterns, hives and nests. Presented alongside industrial geometric forms, these motifs reveal shared patterns within human and more-than-human material processes.

Selected works have been shown in group exhibitions with a variety of themes: Place and Image (Articulate Project Space, 2019), Footsteps in the Corridor (ArticulateUpstairs, 2018), The Sceptical Image (SCA Galleries, University of Sydney, 2014), La Lune: Energy Producing Art (Long Reef Headland, Sydney, 2014) and Electroscape: The Here and Now of Digital Art (107 Projects, Redfern, 2014). Solo exhibitions include Tracker at Articulate Project Space in 2013 and Shiver and Disappear at Artereal Gallery Project Space in 2012.
