Meghan Borah uses oil paint along with the quick-drying medium of distemper to create surfaces that evoke the faded qualities of worn denim, along with the patterns of vintage fabrics and other decorative textiles. Dressed in floral dresses and platform boots, Borah’s female-presenting figures inhabit dreamlike landscapes filled with horses, flowers and greenery. Often, the characters in her paintings seem aloof, their faces expressionless, which speak to the artist’s desire to explore concepts of self, authenticity, and performance within her painted scenarios.
