Flowers follow the lead of the giants’ bodies. The figures weave together amidst purple asters that urgently curl into limbs and fingers. A wildness closes in on the world of the paintings, suggesting a manic and urgent tone that clashes with the languid and regal poses of the womxn. The technicolor fantasy of Meg’s paintings show womxn draping their bodies over buildings, claiming them like thrones. Not only do they guard the structures, the womxn’s own bodies transform into a sovereign safe space in their own right—once they are finally big enough to hold the pain without consequence, they promise a new (dream)world order.

Artist Meg Lionel Murphy’s paintings are informed by debilitating PTSD from severe domestic violence. Over the past few years, she has compulsively painted heartbroken femmes that magically grow larger, stronger, and scarier than the world around them. As the paintings grow in number, she grows just a little larger, stronger, and scarier too. Meg works from rural Wisconsin. She splits her time painting between a little blue shack in a junkyard and the storefront artist collective, The Yellow Room.
