A Sapphic Night In Art

Meagan Cignoli is a Los Angeles based sculptor and this was her first solo show. When asked if themes of identity & visibility informs her art she responded, 

“Being a lesbian shapes everything I do, even when I’m not consciously thinking about it. A lot of my work centers around communication… especially with the positive, nurturing people in my life, most of whom are women.”

“I used to feel pressure to make work that was more masculine to be taken seriously… Now, I fully lean into softness. I let vulnerability show. I no longer try to make my work fit someone else’s idea of strength. That, to me, is deeply queer.”
