Maegzter (Megan Foo) is an emerging and the only neon artist in Singapore. In her practice, she explores the medium of traditional glass neon in innovative ways, subverting the belief that neon can only exist as outdoor signage. Some of her latest explorations include wearable neon and portable neon works, which can be powered by AA batteries. Megan’s journey into the world of neon has been unconventional. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Singapore Management University’s (SMU) Business Management Program and worked at Sephora Southeast Asia before transitioning to life as an artist. Initially intrigued by the craft in Bayswater, Melbourne, she later honed her skills by apprenticing under a Taiwanese neon master in Hsinchu, Taiwan. To Megan, traditional glass neon possesses an alluring and unique quality that captivates others. She is particularly drawn to the fact that every piece must be made by hand, ensuring that the craft retains a human touch. In the near future, she hopes to continue using this medium to create more intriguing and collaborative works.
