Megan is a visual artist and illustrator based in Glasgow, Scotland.
She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2012 where she
studied Communication Design.
Megan’s practice encompasses a wide range of disciplines, with
projects ranging from experimental drawing and illustration to
sculptural installation and immersive environments. Most recently,
her work explores the possibility of Architectural Absurdities,
where ideas appear impossible and illogical. Her approach often
includes large scale drawing, complex layering, cutting and
projection techniques in a variety of materials. A recurring theme
is the psychological distortion of structure, narrative and human
perception.
Megan’s interests lie in themes of imagined territories and
potential futures loosely translated as picture lands of film
space narrative, which sees the convergence of objects and
images that together build up fragments of a fantastical vision
of a misremembered world. She aims to unfold the narratives
of film landscapes through the act of delaying cinema. Through
drawing and installation, this project explores spatial delineation
using a language of two dimensional and three dimensional linear
elements which reference both organic and geometric systems
and structures within film space, inviting the viewer to experience
fragile and temporal experiences of visuospatial perception.
