ME A GHAN POTTER
Meaghan Potter is an Australian artist, who recently
completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Ceramics) prior
to an Honours in Fine Arts (Drawing Major). Her work
is about taking familiar elements of art and nature
and revealing their complexities. Using animals,
specifically felines and canines as subject matter,
she explores their fur colour and pattern as a means
to an abstract language in art. The patterns are
representative of both a complex biological evolution
and the pareidolia effect in the human brain; that
is the ability to envisage a familiar image within an
environment where it does not exist.
Her approach has been one of material and
conceptual exploration. Potter has linked artistic and
scientific thought together with this work in an attempt
to encourage inter-disciplinary activity. Her grand
aspiration is to become part of a humanistic art field
uniting art with the burgeoning technological and
scientific progression present in the modern world.
