For as long as she can remember, local artist Margaret has had an innate fear of demons. Growing up with a biblical background, she was exposed to these concepts at an early age. Throughout her life Margaret has experienced highly vivid dreams with potential spiritual meanings. In her teens she awoke to pressure on her chest, the covers moved, disembodied tapping and her hands in a mysterious mudra-esque position. Over the years she has had continuous dreams of reptilian creatures, angelic beings and dark figures embracing her. As a way of translating these experiences, Margaret has used art to express her ideas, dreams and her mind's inner turmoil. We also dive deep into her "tinfoil hat theory" about AI in the future, and the existential crisis creating an intelligent, soulless being could cause.
