Ma’am are you ok? You barely touched your pumpkin spice latte.
Megan’s hand-made textile artworks play with contemporary, real-world subjects and problems seen through a humorous lense. Both eerie and endearing, Dominescu’s pieces exhibit a host of unique characters who interact with each other in comic book-like frames, each scene becoming a building block in Megan’s parallel universe. In her work ‘Ma’am are you ok? You barely touched your pumpkin spice latte.’ Dominescu sets her characters in a Starbucks where a coffee break turns into a sinister siesta for one customer.
