Margaret McIntosh investigates spaces of familiarity and feeling – suburban brick homes, well-loved campsites and classic interior scenes from your family home, or your first sharehouse. These are nostalgic spaces, ones that resonate with our core memories.

McIntosh’s latest solo exhibition, Daytime Telly, is about the comfort of formulaic and repetitive subjects – the memory of being home sick from school and insulting in shows like Ricki Lake, The Phil Donahue Show and Days of Our Lives.
