Megan Hunter - Hidden Creatures
23 November 2024 – 19 January 2025
Laneway Gallery, Woods Street, Laverton
Hidden Creatures by local artist Megan Hunter explores environmental justice via vibrant abstract works. Through her creative practice, Megan aims to unpack human perceptions of the environment and the deterioration of habitat and decrease in animal populations. Megan’s works are filled with animals impacted by climate change and pollution. These animals are hidden among her use of vibrant, textured, acrylic layers in the abstract works.
This exhibition is a continuation of Megan’s exploration of the environment in the group exhibition Bright, held at Footscray Community Arts in 2023.
Megan Hunter draws inspiration from the environment around her and references art forms such as mosaic art and stained-glass windows. Her creative process includes breaking images into parts that come together later, forming her abstract works.
