ABOUT

Megan McKenzie is an artist living and working on Gadigal land. She graduated from the National Art School, Sydney, in 2024, majoring in ceramics. Her work uses highly recognisable forms such as the sphere to probe the ways in which we instinctively make meaning from objects that are familiar, yet lacking in answers. Megan is interested in how things can exist in multiple ways simultaneously, and investigates how light, refraction, form, space, colour and texture interact to behave as a signifier that speaks to the individual and challenges our perceptions. 

Having previously spent time living and working in Paris and Montreal and establishing a career as a production manager on many well-known Australian and international television programs, Megan uses her background to investigate the ways in which we collect and re-present information. Moving away from the screen, she works materially, spatially, and with information reduction and omission to examine how we intuitively make meaning, both as individuals and collectively as a society.
