About the Item

"Drool" is a surrealist and brightly colored wall installation by artist Megan Dune, constructed with acrylic, colored pencil, paper, glitter, thread, foil and fabric on canvas and paper mache. Inside of us is a desire for consumption - not just the consumption itself, but the ability to consume. Here stands a consumption warrior. With a feast upon her bib, the world is hers for the taking. Today, her desire is green glitter; perhaps tomorrow, it shall be a bow... Either way, she'll do what she wants. ABOUT THE ARTIST - Los Angeles based artist, Megan Dune, is a multimedia artist exploring the boundaries between fragmentation and integration. Her art represents a playful yet determined experimentation intended to convey flows of consciousness, territorize chaos, and ponder the great wonder that is our existence. Intrigued and humored by human processes, Dune finds herself peering out upon them from the widest perspective – “that we are blips living extraordinary lives upon a planet in an infinitely expanding universe”. This perspective is the thread that sews her work together, a reminder of our fantastic place in the universe. There is no subject too small or meaningless to find its way into her work, and the jumps between subjects and composition, as well as the connections between them, intend to replicate the conditions and curiousness of our existence.
