About the Artwork
“This self-portrait illustrates the painful disconnect of a migraine, the disembodiment of the experience and the impossibility of doing anything else besides suffering through it.”
Megan Young is an assistant lecturer in the school of psychology at Massey University in New Zealand. She is also a mixed-media artist who specializes in figurative collage. She is interested in the intersection between research and communication, and how nontraditional research such as visual arts can be utilized to share the emotional context of research “findings.”
