Jacquie Meng
"My works explore exaggerated and self conceptualised self portraiture in a way that considers arranging the self, objects and landscapes in a way that is carnivalesque and grotesque. The idea of the carnival liberates us from the constraints of everyday life, allowing for a fluid exchange of identities and roles."

She was awarded the Brett Whitely travelling scholarship in 2021, selected as a finalist in 2022 'the churchie' emerging art prize at the IMA, and PICA’s 'Hatched'.

"My practice is driven by the chemical possibilities of glaze and dual history of ceramics as both sacred artefact and quotidian object. The absence of tactile interaction and the tension of the ceramic object within the fine art world is of particular interest to me, and I see my work as being part of a larger dialogue around material hierarchies and material culture."
