Higher Ground

At the tender age of 19 years-old, Tegan is no stranger to the Recovered Futures Art Exhibition and this year will be her third exhibiting. 

She has already exhibited pieces in the Logan Art Gallery (as part of the Robyn Daw Young Visual Artists Scholarship), Brisbane Ekka and has also designed and installed a five (5) metre mural at Area51 Playground Centre, along with creating and installing a water feature piece at her old school.

In 2023, Tegan's illustrations were published in a book of poetry titled Connections by Justin Geange. Having a father with bipolar, Tegan is currently exploring her own mental health pathways and finds that art is a powerful part of her own well-being.

'Higher Ground' speaks to the rapid expansion of community and the evolution of society when together in harmony. It also touches on the disconnectedness a smaller community may feel. Having each other to stand by and yet still feeling outcasted from the rest of society.
