MEG WALCH

Artist - Explorer: Thinking Through Paint

Meg Walch is an artist and studio-led researcher who thinks through materials. Working primarily in painting her studio-led practice explores perception, cognition and uncertainty. Over more than three decades, she has developed this inquiry through international residencies, exhibitions, teaching and interdisciplinary projects.

Her work treats painting not simply as an image or object, but as a way of thinking - one that can unsettle assumptions, open new ways of seeing and give form to what is not yet known. Her work investigates what painting can reveal about how we see, how we know, and how we make sense of an unstable world.

I acknowledge the Palawa people of Lutruwita/Tasmania: traditional custodians of this land, and their enduring use of ochres as some of the island’s earliest pigments.
