Megan Sharkey is an artist working with textiles, known for her innovative use of traditional hand-craft techniques.

Her intricate art pieces capture her unique take on the human experience, emphasising the interconnectedness of individuals and their surroundings.

Fascinated by how we belong and behave in the world, she delves into what it means to be—exploring memories, emotions, and our relationships with each other and our bodies.

Megan transforms these intangible ideas into a very physical and grounded practice, mainly using a needle and thread. Through slow, repetitive stitching and lace-making, she creates abstract forms in two and three dimensions, merging simplicity with complexity.
