Pamela Edmonds from the 2008 Becoming MOCAD catalogue: "Like Petros, Megan Morgan's work moves through and around traps of authenticity, extending contemporary definitions of "community" and "family". In a recent photographic series entitled Re-photograph, Morgan explores her own interracial Bermudian-Canadian family history by re-contextualizing a series of old family portraits and re-presenting them in a series of grids. Issues of memory and loss are counter-balanced against notions of re-creation and assertion through these images, which ultimately questions perceptions of identity from a personal, cultural and familial perspective. These images seek not to create an imaginary wholeness out of disparate parts, but rather to offer paradox, fragmentation and ambiguity as primary states of being. Collectively, the works in this exhibition suggest an identity and a body in the process of "being" and "becoming". Insofar as identity is performed and experienced as real, self-imaging through the photographic portrait has constituted a powerful strategy through which subjects maintain control over their lives and their image.
