Meghan Limbrick . Designer

I am a designer/maker based in Brighton, UK. When I was younger I spent my time making tiny notebooks and being extremely interested in spies, Ancient Egypt and the work of the multi-skilled artist Kit Williams. My ideas often manifest themselves in 3D form with an element of interaction. I studied Illustration at the University of Brighton and graduated in July 2009.


In the future I hope to have engaged all of my metaphorical fingers in a complex variety of successful pies. Please contact me if you have any suggestions or comments to this end.

After The Dream The Eternity Chamber September 16, 2009

Other things that I thought were pretty good whilst taking in the Walking In My Mind exhibition were the pieces by Charles Avery (whos work I had previously been meaning to see) which basically were artifacts and images from this imaginary island which he creates as part of this epic project where he documents and investigates the island and its inhabitants. I really like the idea, and I think it most comes to life in the biggest sculpture which is an Eternity Chamber – its a lot like the black revolving box I had in my exhibition at Brighton – apart from its much bigger and better! You can only see the inside through a a small opening – this is what the catalogue has to say about it: ‘ …an Eternity Chamber belonging to the Island’s Cult of the Gulls, whos insane leaders extreme longevity is attributed to his having once witnessed eternity. The kiosk’s brilliantly patterned and mirrored interior presents a dazzling illusion of infinity, which we are only allowed a glance of through a crack in the padlocked doors.’

The outside of the ‘kiosk’ is even better, with statues and carvings of gulls.

The brilliance of the exhibition lay in the wildly imaginative landscapes that the visitor was able to experience by walking through them as the title suggests – there was a network of cardboard and packing tape catacombs, a red and white spotted inflatable and an astroturf wonderland, as well as Chiharu Shiota’s soft yet disturbing web of wool called After the Dream. This was an incredible tunnel of interwoven threads which encased 5 long fairytale dresses in its woven thicket and gave the feeling of being inside a giant spiders lair where objects had been captured and forgotten.
