Meet the Artists - Megan Yeo

Megan Yeo works in varied medium including embroidery, painting, works on paper and photography.
For Jehanne's Alchemists, she decided on a Fuji camera that takes little instant photographs the same as the Polaroid Instamatic of days past to keep in theme of the early 1970s when the book was written and set.

‘...they were abstracted, and it had been apparently so natural for them to turn into cows, or semi-cows, or rather a semi bull and a semi-heifer, that they hadn’t suffered a second’s dizziness or nausea.’ (Keneally 1971, p. 49)
