Artist-in-Residence

Meagen Svendsen works in porcelain and found wood. Pale ceramic forms, some leaf-like, some closer to wings, are set into slabs of live-edge walnut burl so the made thing and the grown thing share one surface.

She has lived and worked in France, Japan, Mexico and Russia, and reads closely in biology and ecology. That reading arrives in the work as a question rather than an answer: whether we treat the natural world as something exotic and separate, or as the thing we are already part of.

She is here all month. Come by during open studio hours, join her for the artist talk on the twelfth, or spend a Saturday afternoon pressing the garden into clay.
