Claire McKevitt (b. 2003) is a multidisciplinary artist and printmaker based in the Midwest. Her work explores the intersections of memory, branding, and consumer culture, drawing on bold imagery and popular iconography to investigate how these forces shape personal and collective identity. Using materials such as butter wrappers and wool, McKevitt combines traditional craft and labor-intensive processes like painting, lithography, and foundry casting. Her practice integrates imagery sourced from personal memories and found materials, blending the intimate with the universal. By recontextualizing everyday objects and cultural symbols, she critiques the capitalist systems that commodify nostalgia and influence our understanding of self and community. McKevitt’s art is visually striking, pairing bold aesthetics with a thoughtful interrogation of consumerism's impact on memory and identity. Her work invites viewers to engage with familiar imagery in unfamiliar ways, encouraging reflection on their roles within a culture of consumption. Through these connections, she creates spaces for shared dialogue and deeper understanding of the systems that define our lives.
