About the Artwork
Acrylic, oil pastel, paper, glitter, thread and clay on canvas and paper mache.
What began as an experiment in creating rose petals slowly evolved into this deconstructed "Superbloom". At the center of these petals is a seemingly chaotic arrangement of color and texture. Yet, from slow observation, patterns and repetition emerge. What can be easily grouped into a "whole" is actually a balancing act of orchestrated parts - the same as every living organism we observe. There is a mystery to be savored in every act of living - as well as in viewing the traces of life left behind. "Superbloom" was made in love of the former, and leaves behind the latter. We'll never fully understand all the bits of a rose, or all the brushstrokes of a painting, but we're always welcome to bask in the sunshine that is loving without knowing.
Los Angeles based artist, Megan Dune, is a multimedia artist exploring the boundaries between fragmentation and integration. Her art represents a playful yet determined experimentation intended to convey flows of consciousness, territorize chaos, and ponder the great wonder that is our existence.
Intrigued and humored by human processes, Dune finds herself peering out upon them from the widest perspective – “that we are blips living extraordinary lives upon a planet in an infinitely expanding universe”. This perspective is the thread that sews her work together, a reminder of our fantastic place in the universe.
There is no subject too small or meaningless to find its way into her work, and the jumps between subjects and composition, as well as the connections between them, intend to replicate the conditions and curiousness of our existence.
