Bio

Meranda McDermott, a Kansas City sculptor, redefines perception through her interactive sculptures. Using mostly found materials, she explores implied consequences and the history of objects. Her work, sometimes without artist tags, encourages viewers to engage with their surroundings. With a focus on community involvement, Meranda’s art sparks dialogue and connection, bridging gaps between art and everyday life. Often drawing from the ritual of personal gift-giving, her sculptures capture human connection and stories, adding depth to her creations.
