Artist Talk: Megan Bent

Join Megan Bent for an artist talk discussing her exhibition, Patient / Belongings, which features selections from I Don’t Want to Put A Silver Lining Around It, an ongoing series of verdant-but-ghostly chlorophyll prints on leaves. Through the embrace of imperfect photographic processes and surprising results, Megan Bent seeks to reframe the ways that we think about disability, accessibility, and permanence.

Megan Bent is a lens-based artist interested in the malleability of photography and the ways image-making can happen beyond using a traditional camera. This interest started to occur after the diagnosis of a progressive chronic illness. Drawn to image-making processes that reject perfection, accuracy, or any certainty in results, she is interested instead in processes that reflect and embrace her disabled experience.
