Megan McIsaac Photography

New Exhibition:

“Seeing Myself”

Oct 1 - 22 @ What Is Happening Here Gallery

Reguliersdwarsstraat 73, Amsterdam

Megan McIsaac’s “Seeing Myself” is a series of intimate, mostly unedited photographs, throughout a span of more than 15 years, that focus on making self portraits as a spiritual practice, a way of checking in with yourself.

Megan’s early work, shared on Flickr and Tumblr, had a lasting impact on many artists who followed. Her delicately powerful self-portraiture and bold, open approach to sharing her work and life shaped the emerging social media landscape in ways that still resonate with how young photographers present themselves online today.

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.”

Rest in peace, Shane 🕯️
