Yeti Logic is a sampling of Megan Whitmarsh’s embroidery shown in a manner meant to imply geometry, stacking and interlocking elements such as bricks, legos or crystal formations. In this invented world, elves wear tiny gold necklaces and yetis visit discos; in lands inhabited by icebergs, crystals, rays and forests. Her themes can best be visually described as scenes of fantasy characters existing amongst the detritus of the modern world. They can best be conceptually described as the artist’s attempt to reconcile the ataxia of the modern world with an optimistic vision of the future dictated by an internal logic and supernatural iconography. Socializing yetis, elf girls and boys make and examine large sculptures and geometric crystal forms that reference both scientific and spiritual structures. Having grown up in the 70’s and 80’s, the artist, like many of her generation, uses the visual noise of her youth as inspiration, rather than the history of painting.
