Meg Turner is a printmaker working in New Orleans. She works intimately within her communities of queer people, healthcare and sex workers, artists and teachers; preferring to use her camera with the people she loves. Adopting motifs of family portraiture and fashion photography, she works with people to depict fantastical realities where they are thriving in opulence and safety as a counter to the political environment in Louisiana that is increasingly anti trans and anti-poor. Specializing in analog modes of printing and photography, Turner works primarily in the early photographic process of wet plate collodion. The images she creates look historic at first glance, but achingly futuristic upon closer examination. Turner appreciates the camera lens as being both a tool for capturing truth and for manipulation and selling fantasy. Creating a disorientation in terms of where an image sits in time, Turner’s work asks us about where we are in history and proposes possible futures.
