I make two-dimensional and three-dimensional collages that are possible evolutions from the human manipulation of the environment.
These transformations with their obvious recognizable elements allow the personalization of waste and direct engagement with ecological issues.
From mixed media and recycled materials, my works reflect a changed landscape and the creatures that inhabit it.

Amidst a forest of decaying cellulose—where leaves and dirt intertwine—plastic trash lies embedded in layers of paper.

Setting Seed documents Margaret Craig’s evolving public artwork at the McNay Art Museum, where visitors were invited to take home sculptural “seeds,” transforming the installation into a living work that spread beyond the museum.
Performance
Creature from the Bleached Lagoon
Margaret Craig’s performance, Creature from the Bleached Lagoon, references ’50s B-movies and Japanese Kaiju, employing humor to illuminate the destruction of the environment.
