Mei Lin Meyers
‘Rhizome’ 2025. Pencil on lined paper and cardstock, PVA glue, wood, printed photos, plastic containers, and objects.
Artist statement
Mei Lin's (he/they) drawing practice is a playful exploration of Crip, Queer and Diasporic relationality and ‘sense-making’. Using jumbo colour pencils, his expressive mark-making is colourful, and embodied. This joyful approach to drawing and use of ‘lo-fi’ materials allows Mei Lin to create from bed, and work with, rather than against, their Long-Covid.
Rhizome explores non-linear ways of thinking and being – reflected in the repetition of ginger, citrus and objects across their drawings.
