A Community

Of Individuals

Full view of the entire piece, hinting at the threads inside.

A project around the idea of individuals as the building blocks of a community but note being defined by that community.

A shot of the inside of the work with a focus on the back of the drawings.

Megan took reference photographs of members of the college community posed as defined them in that moment. From these where drawn the sixteen images.

The black thread in the center represents the connections that create a community; running from each person and intersecting here and there with others.
