Her work explores memory and archives, guided by an insatiable curiosity and interest in philosophy and history. McIntosh uses her work to explore themes of time, dislocation, trauma, climate, passivity and action, and connectivity through the lens of digital culture, probing the stories we tell ourselves and interrogating who gets to tell them.
Her work has been in the New Museum, Second Ward Foundation, Charim, Portland Institute of Contemporary Art’s TBA Festival, Hudson Hall, NY Live Arts, and many others. In 2021, she released her debut chapbook, Spiral as Ritual, published by Topos Press. In 2023, McIntosh was an artist-in-residence at the International Studio and Curatorial Program in Brooklyn, NY, and the inaugural recipient of The Spark of Hudson Foundation Creative Arts Fellowship. Her first full-length poetry collection, A New Sense of Luxury, was published by Eureka! Press in April 2025.
