Carey McDougall (back)

In order to displace the notion of a nuclear family made up of clearly
demarcated individuals, McDougall’s sculptures emphasize domestic blurred
boundaries and fluid physical relationships. The house forms are a
re-presentation of anatomical interior and domestic exterior connections
that are challenging and unusual, yet seductive and possibly advantageous.
Through the act of physically joining and re-routing anatomical parts and
cellular structures within the confines and/or nests of domestic structures
and body-scapes, the sculptures play with the stigmatized connection of
conjoined twins, the blurred individual boundaries of pregnant women, and
the western emphasis/obsession with coupling through marriage.

McDougall received her Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from Oberlin
College, her Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from Wesleyan University and
her Master of Fine Arts degree from University of Connecticut. She has
exhibited in solo exhibitions all over Ohio and Connecticut and has
exhibited at various museum, galleries, and universities, including the
Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, Sofia Press Gallery in Bulgaria, State
University of New York Oneonta, Burlington County College, University of
Connecticut Avery Point, and Hartford College for Women. McDougall currently
resides in Canton, Ohio, and will be an associate professor of art at Kent
State University Stark campus this fall.
