About

Sinéad Day MacLeod is a multidisciplinary artist working between New Mexico and Nova Scotia (and often in between). Her practice spans textile, painting, stone carving, and basketry, unified by a materialist inquiry into land, labour, and the historical weight of women's work.

Using cyanotype, she prints silk with botanicals gathered from the desert and the Atlantic coast, layering the cloth with dyes and pigments she collects and extracts by hand. The process foregrounds material origin: plant, mineral, sun, fiber. 

MacLeod's practice is informed by feminist histories of labour and a Marxist attention to material conditions. Across mediums, her work interrogates how humans relate to land — through extraction, industry, stewardship, or intimate craft.
