Megan Erhart (SE)

Megan Erhart is an animator. She is a caricature of herself. Breathing a distinctive life into the organic shell in which she currently resides, Megan consciously creates a vibrant personality and endless stages of emotion through the mechanics of live daily human animation. She advises her puppets to follow her lead, but they often prove too obstinate to be trained properly.

Utilizing both traditional and technological methodologies, her animated films and installations have been exhibited internationally. “Grounded – Bien fonde: An Environment Media installation” featuring the film, “Echoes” appeared recently in a solo exhibition at Saile Ossip Zadkine in Caylus, France, in coordination with DRAW.
