K. MacNeil @kit.macneil : at-home apothecary, OR EXTRA STRENGTH + PAIN RELIEF

Exhibition: June 22 – June 30, 2022
Reception: June 10, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.

K. MacNeil is a genderqueer and interdisciplinary artist working in printmaking, video, performance, and drawing. They currently serve on the executive board of SGCInternational and work as the College Printer at Massey College. MacNeil has an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Buffalo and currently resides in Toronto.

At-home apothecary, or EXTRA STRENGTH + PAIN RELIEF is a six-year body of work incorporating painting, drawing, and printmaking. Pulling directly from my home and personal medicine cabinet, these works replicate and probe the various prescriptions, homeopathic remedies, texts, and even clothing used in an effort to find healing.

At-home apothecary draws from lifelong management of depression, PTSD, gender dysphoria, and chronic pain, and personal experiences navigating support systems prevalent in Western society. From paintings of medications to drawings of used Q-tips, this work engages experiences of physical ailment, addiction, and mental distress and the ways these topics are both obscured and commodified in North American culture. Through these autobiographical works, I create space to question and critique ableist systems that stigmatize the chronically ill experience. Collectively, at-home apothecary, or EXTRA STRENGTH + PAIN RELIEF confronts stigmas surrounding illness and the messiness of healing.
