Megan Mericle is an artist and communications professional currently living and working in Montréal who creates macro photography that deals with nature in dark and nocturnal scenes with an emphasis on abstract fields of colour. She is interested in exploring the plant and fungi world, and how form, energy, light and colour interact in elemental ways. By focusing in on and exploring close-up aspects of organic life, she strives to create work that elicits a relaxing state of consciousness. She is interested in exploring how humans try to control, shape, quantify and understand nature. She is deeply passionate about how herbal medicine, food security, food forests and sustainable solutions such as building more urban greenhouses, parks, and gardens can contribute to a greener, happier present and future. Promoting local food systems and access and herbal medicinal resources are important to her as she continues to learn more about our fascinating plant neighbours that support us.
