OVERVIEW
Corridor Exhibit
Home Body is a long, deep breath. Through images of her home and children, Megan Klco Kellner explores the intimacy of motherhood and the difficulty of finding clarity and stillness in an increasingly overwhelming world. These watercolors, collages, and hand-written poems grab hold of the numinous moments that slip through the fog of daily routine and lift them up into the light. Home Body is both a record of home and a concentrated search for quiet. In this work, Megan invites you to pause and marvel at your life — at its messiness and noise, and at those rare moments that strike, suddenly, with a hammer blow of meaning.
