SHOW 2022: Megan Sharples @knit_lyf An exploration of identity and the role that our bodies, our clothes and the environments around us play in the perception of self. Playing with the stereotypes and assumptions made from our physical appearance Megan is fascinated with domestic spaces, both as an aesthetic and a location for storytelling. For them, the home embodies a dichotomy between safety and entrapment. A visual representation of fluctuating meaning and the notion that everything is not always as it first appears. This body of work focuses inwards, on the aspects of their identity that are harder to talk about. It has become a tool for self reflection and a practice of sitting with yourself. A way of embodying the darker emotions, exposing the parts of yourself that have been hidden away and that are harder to talk about.
