  7. Lovely. Lovely. My favorite of the group is "a pocket full of live wires" The texture intrigues me, and in the photo no less. Can't wait to see them live.

  8. Thanks Sandy.
    "a pocket full of live wires" is my favorite too, it was the first in the series.
    I love the bits of red peeking through.

    I hope you can see them "live" one day soon.
    I need to find another gallery in Little Rock...

  13. I absolutely love "a pocket full of live wires", while they're all great, that one resonates with me the most - there's so much to explore in one image, so many beautifully intricate details and shapes.

    Brilliant Megan. Brilliant.

  14. Thank you very much MrK...
    That one seems to resonate the most with many, including myself- it is a little more involved...
    like I have said above- I am excited to get back to work on some new ones, as soon as the snow melts away.. perhaps tomorrow..

    By the way MrK it looks like you are going to be a blogger soon as well? I hope so, I would really look forward to your posts.

  16. Hey Megan,
    I'm sitting down to write an analysis of a Helen Phillips ceramic for my Modern European Art class which led me to your blog...if these new works are post the artist block then your brain, spirit and hand were gathering energy for this incredible work! What a compelling direction, the work is ethereal amd haunting, I love it. Can't wait to see in person and catch up with you, Jeanne Parham

  17. Thank you all so much- the feedback for the beginning of the white series has been amazing.

    It is wonderful to be making art and on some kind of track after being a bit off for a while.
    Your comments build my confidence as I explore this direction in my work.
