Maggie Casey grew up in Pennsylvania, and received a BFA in Fiber in 2005 at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. In 2007 her tapestry series, Model, was shown at F.E.U.L. Gallery. The work was recognized by the American Craft Council and became part of the Searchlight Artist series at the 2008 Baltimore ACC show. Maggie moved to Portland OR in 2008, and has since created installations at Oregon College of Art and Craft, Mile Post 5 and Appendix Project Space. In 2009 she became a coordinator of Appendix Project Space and collaborated with the other members during their time of residency at Portland State University. The collective has continued to work alongside one another, and have collectively shown at New American Art Union and Ditch Space this past year. While her work has undergone a shift in influences and materials, Maggie continues to take part in conversation regarding contemporary fiber. She most recently was invited to participate in the Symposium titled Materiality + Meaning in Seoul, South Korea, which was in conjunction with a group show at 175 Gallery. The body of work being presented at Oklahoma City Art Center will range in format and media, and include sculpture, installation, and new media.
