1000’s of particular person flowers and crops grown in Meggan Pleasure’s Seattle backyard type the contours of her ethereal figures. The artist (beforehand) collages completely trimmed pictures of every specimen into silhouettes lush with colour and texture.
In her most up-to-date physique of labor titled Fever Dream, Pleasure attracts on concern, loss, and the immense potential for ache. “Wide and Wild,” for instance, depicts a girl cradling a Eurasian Eagle Owl close to her coronary heart. “She’s a piece for when you find your person (whether that be a lover, friend, kids, whatever), and once you have them, you know that if they disappear in any way, you also will be gone,” the artist shares in a press release.
Others relate to dangerous selections yielding constructive experiences and the way etermal bonds require persistence and understanding. Every work, Pleasure shares, “whisper(s) the parts of the tales that examined us and, as a substitute of condemning our faults, reveal that these moments left us essentially the most thrilling scars.
Fever Dream is on view by September 25 at J. Rinehart Gallery. Comply with Pleasure’s work on Instagram.
