Hats off to Meggs - she’s recently been accepted into Curvy 2009. Way to represent! She’s got more on her plate than a Peter Russell Clarke meal and she’s as modest as they come. She’s also the first MINX ART featured artist to mention Mac Gyver and a cucumber in the same sentence. She needs no further introduction.
So Meggs, tell us a bit about yourself?
I paint, I draw, I cross stitch, I make zines, I do a little bit of street art, I enjoy food and cooking and a wee tipple. I make lotions + potions for a day job, I wouldn’t survive without music, I love Irish music, I have really crazy, violent, and funny dreams, I’m a ranga, I live in the Inner west in Sydney with an awesome flattie, suburbia and a world only of babies scares the living bejeebas outta me, I’m a twin, I dig boys who wear kilts, I share a great studio space with about 10 other artists, I want to see a lot more of the world, I can be quite the hermit, as a kid I was a tomboy and wanted to marry Peter Russell Clarke, Mac Gyver and a cucumber… hmmm what would Freud say about that?
What inspires you?
Being around creative minds and passionate people. Bad and safe art. Pretentious galleries. Music. Current affairs. Humour.
Can you give us an overview of your work & what you've been up to?
I’ve been involved in a couple of group shows for artists using sewing/thread in a fine art context. Space and money had me limited to small works, then, last year I was fortunate to find a studio space, shared with about 10 artists. It had been a while since I had painted, so was stoked to get back into that.
