based
artist
Megan
Whitmarsh
grew
up
in
the
70's
and
80's,
and,
like
many
of
her
generation,
uses
the
visual
noise
of
her
youth
as
inspiration,
rather
than
the
history
of
painting.
She
makes
drawings,
comics,
hand-embroidered
pieces
and
soft
sculptures.
Her
themes
can
best
be
visually
described
as
scenes
of
fantasy
characters
existing
amongst
the
detritus
of
the
modern
world.
They
can
best
be
conceptually
described
as
the
artist's
attempt
to
reconcile
the
ataxia
of
the
modern
world
with
an
optimistic
vision
of
the
future
dictated
by
an
internal
logic
and
supernatural
iconography.

artistic
process
as
a
slightly
evolved
continuation
of
her
childhood
practices
of
illustrating
Buffy
Sainte-Marie
songs
and
making
comic
books
about
rabbits
watching
Mork
and
Mindy.
