Helen Scott Lidgett Award
2025
meej douglas (b. 2000) is an artist working with film, sound, text, and performance.
ineffability largely concerns the artist; a curiosity about sense and meaning being derived through something visceral and felt, rather than what is told and understood intellectually. an attempt is made to uncover the sludge-like, hidden recesses of personal thought and feeling, short-circuiting the shortcomings of clinical language, via poetic, crumbling filmmaking and texts, repetition, myth-science, cut-up, and a biomythographic approach to subject matter.
outside of douglas’ solo practice, they work closely with the This Cruel Temple Collective, and Knitted Tongues.
meej holds an undergraduate degree in photography from leeds arts university, and a masters of fine art from central saint martins.
