"Primarily focused on digital collage, Meggan Joy combines fragments of the natural sciences with her narratives and allegories; often weaving in symbols and motifs from art history to create a new surreal vision. Battle Cry is a collection of these collages representing women in various stages of an unnamed conflict. Their bodies made up of thousands of individual photographs of botanicals, insects and other wildlife - resulting in a final image that is bursting with life and layered with hidden details and anecdotes. Color and texture form each woman’s shape, and from the photographs of once living individual things, portraits of ethereal beings begin to emerge. 

In conjunction with the exhibition, a digital catalog will be published with an essay written by arts writer and curator Sarra Scherb.

Meggan Joy is a self-taught photographic artist currently residing in Seattle, WA. Her practice involves fabricating staged imagery from the ground up, growing most of her subject matter in her garden."
