"Megan Nelson is a photographer and visual artist based in the West Midlands. Her practice focuses on how gender shapes our relationship with urban public spaces, and had been exhibited within the Wolverhampton School of Art, The Mander Center and at Wednesbury Art Gallery, with Tekkinpix and Multistory. She is known for her keen eye for detail and precision through the formalistic approach she takes with her photographic work, and her ability to create prominent compositions encourages the viewer to see the world in a new and thought-provoking way."

My practice focuses on how gender shapes our relationship with urban public spaces, seeking to capture everyday life from a female perspective. Colour and form are vital elements of my photographs, as I incorporate both the beautiful and not-so-beautiful spaces around me. Through this, I explore how gender affects our experiences and attempt to depict the gendered spaces we inhabit, revealing the familiar and unfamiliar, seen and unseen by focusing on the nuances and subtleties of the urban environment. I aim to create images that suggest ways we can consider others’ experiences as well as how we engage with the places we live and move through by illustrating the urban landscape in a way that is both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually engaging.
