I’ve had the pleasure of getting to work with Megan as we’re both members of Tiger Strikes Asteroid. Was pleased to see she has work up at Surface Noise. About her work, she writes “I make objects, paintings, and videos that abstract or oscillate between announcing and concealing meaning.
The resulting work cultivates unserious fields of imagery and installations that interrogate what it means to be visually critical in the 2020s and the future. I do this to playfully mimic, mock, and question the American confrontation between the public and the intertwined spectacle of journalism, political science, advertising, and propaganda.
The resulting work embraces the absurdity of painterly abstraction against fictional digital landscapes superimposed onto real landscapes.”
