About the Work + Artists

Meg Matko takes her sculpture and performance in a new direction with Moon Babies, exploring fantasy, Kawaii culture, consumerism and AI obsession. This work is a subconscious response to the current state of all-consuming civil unrest, imploding social politics and the unrelenting crush of information, Matko conjures a portal of escape, magic and child-like play. Manufacturing small beings to serve as protectors and assuming excessive personas to shift identity, the work becomes a commentary on our own ability to emotionally self-preserve and revisit childhood innocence in the face of a reality that has become unsafe.
