Megan Jarrett

2023
Written By Janie hao

Shooting primarily in still life, Megan Jarrett portrays food and objects using vibrant splashes of colour and sparkling light. “Smile through the pain” is a sentiment Megan lives by, preferring to take a comedic and lighthearted approach to most situations. Indeed, her work is humorous and punchy — a contrast to her sometimes dark subject matter.

Sketchbook lies open over pink surface. “2022: worst year of my life” is scrawled in fake blood inside with one colourful lollipop sitting on page and another on pink surface.

Three chicken nuggets float and sparkle on left side. On right, light grazes open box of McDonald’s brand nuggets in foreground and box of McDonald’s fries on its side in background.
Xbox controller, “Destroy All Humans!”-branded beanie and hand squeezing a juice box sit atop bright orange surface. Iced tea drips from straw, forming large puddle in foreground.
