Bill Viola. Sandy Skoglund. The Dutch masters. These are a few of the influences Megan K. Geilman cites for her photographic work. The Provo-based artist, who studied at the California College of the Arts and Brigham Young University, shares with these artists an interest in the tableau, the staged interior scene, the narrative possibilities that arise in the interaction of people and objects. Her work uses art historical reference and symbolic objects to explore doctrine, history, and social issues within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.\u00a0As the title of her current series of works indicates, it is a process of translation, as objects are placed in new settings and contexts.<\/p>\n

2019 was a good year for the\u00a0stay-at-home mom, freelance graphic designer and artist: she exhibited a collaborative video art piece with Page Turner and Samantha Zauscher at the Center for Latter-day Saint Arts in New York City; shortly before the arrival of her 3rd child, she had her first solo show at Writ & Vision<\/a>, in downtown Provo; and she was awarded “Honorable Mentions” in both the\u00a0Certain Women<\/i>\u00a0art show at Anthony’s Antiques and Springville Museum of Art’s\u00a0Spiritual and Religious Show<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Things aren’t slowing down in 2020. To start the new year, her piece “Queen of the South” was featured on the cover of Exponent II<\/a>, a print and digital forum “for Mormon women to share their life experiences.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd she continues to produce new work.\u00a0“I’m excited to dive into my next series of large production, highly composed photographic scenes \u2014 this time focusing on Christocentric images,” she says. “I’m especially honored to be working with [Spring City artist] Lee Udall Bennion on one of the pieces, scheduled to shoot later in the year.”<\/p>\n

Part of Geilman’s “Works of Translation” series will be on view at Snow College’s Karen H. Huntsman Library through June, as part of a Granary Arts satellite exhibition. Her current work can be seen at\u00a0http:\/\/www.worksoftranslation.com<\/a>\u00a0or on Instagram\u00a0@worksoftranslation<\/a>.<\/div>\n
