Artist's Statement.

Boundaries are man-made; there are no beginnings or endings in nature. Anatomy, biology, chemistry, physics - the science supports our interconnectedness. We are pulled away from each other under false pretenses. This piece visually explores connection and blurs the lines between objects that we perceive as individual.

Further, this work celebrates the diversity of people - composition, texture, and often over-looked qualities. Through precise detail in carbon dust (a combination of powdered graphite + charcoal), white ink, and sharpie, these works ask you to explore the seemingly "everyday" so you might realize that they are inherently not commonplace at all.

In 2017, they gave a TEDx talk about their lifelong passion for science and art. You can view it here: http://www.tinyurl.com/meganstedtalk
