Inner Workings, a solo show I created as a 2025 Art Incubator grant recipient was held at CBD Gallery, 72 Erskine St Sydney from 12 November to 20 December, 2025.

In her latest body of work, McKenzie offers a tactile meditation on material, space and self. Using familiar forms, she examines how we make meaning from our surroundings and how perception is shaped by lived experience. She is particularly interested in the intuitive ways we interpret and construct meaning, both individually and collectively, and how those processes reflect broader cultural patterns.  Through subtle shifts in surface, refraction and hue, her works reveal how things can exist in multiple states at once—solid yet fluid, still yet full of motion.

“Megan McKenzie is an artist who challenges both herself and the materials she works with. She creates hand-built ceramic spheres, manipulating the clay, and testing its limits–unafraid, in fact welcoming, imperfections and fissures. Her glazes are processed scientifically exploring a spectrum of colour and texture. The new body of work she has produced as part of the Art Incubator grant pushes the scope of her experimentation to new heights.”
