Megan Sharkey is a Welsh artist living in Porto who works with textiles to create spatial sculptures and installations. Drawing on traditional hand techniques, she stretches lace and stitch beyond their conventional scale and function.

Her work considers presence, care and the relationship between inner experience and the material world. Made slowly by hand, each piece holds the trace of time and attention.
