A solo exhibition by Margaret Kilgallen

End Pages delves into Margaret Kilgallen's exploration of material, language, and form. The title refers to the first and last pages of a book, often worn, stained, or torn, which Kilgallen painted on using reclaimed materials. Influenced by her time at the San Francisco Public Library, where she learned book restoration, Kilgallen’s works juxtapose the imperfections of discarded pages with her precise, bold linework. These pieces celebrate the handmade and wabi-sabi aesthetic, while also reflecting her study of typography. Kilgallen intertwines graphic letterforms with pictorial elements, blending the boundaries between text and image to create a dynamic visual language that challenges traditional forms of representation.
Margaret Kilgallen was born in 1967 in Washington, D.C., and lived in San Francisco, with her husband, Barry McGee, where she passed away in 2001.
