They are also a regenerative, community based farmer, and practice in sustainability, in all ways, informs their process too. Megan looks at decolonial values, love and care, at multiplicity and contrastingly, at fragmentation. They are interested in the reality of inter-dependance, utopia, and in the security and capability that comes from this way of working and looking. Megans work results in layered material and functional objects from the hand, words from the heart, and personal narrative based on living with place, people, and relationship.
