About the Artist

Meg West

Through her arts practice, Toowoomba-based emerging artist Meg West predominantly explores the motif of eyes, with a thematic focus on eye contact and its association with love and human connection. West examines this relationshipthrough her use of repeated visual interpretations of the human eye. She explores this motif using ceramics, mixed-media collage, and printmaking mediums, which mirror the diversity of the subject. By creating these works, the artists seeks an understanding of human connections and why we crave them. Further, she investigates eye contact as inherently linked to these forms of connection, and suggests that, ultimately, what we seek, what we crave, is human connection, eye contact, and love.
