Installation of Megan Prince’s Seeing Remnants in Life at The Kirkland Library, Kirkland, WA 2023.

Seeing Remnants in Life, consists of Impermanent (red Sharpie on photography seamless, 80x105 inches, 2022), and Red Ratchet Strap Remnant Relationship (RRSRR, reclaimed red ratchet straps, 92x339 inches, 2023) a reconfigurable multi-component fibers sculpture. Impermanent is the largest work in my 1,000 Paintings of Love series, each unique piece points to the individuality and importance of each of us in this life. RRSRR, from my Remnant Relationship series, uses remnant materials as a micro look at what we consider as cast-offs in society; a vehicle to think about what we consider unusable or garbage.

Additional Events for Seeing Remnants in Life:

Studio Visit: Sunday, February 19, 2023 from 2-4pm at the Kirkland Library.

EVERY DAY LOOK AT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU WITH DIGNITY featured in Life on Venus Magazine!

Hi Friends,

My art practice, and specifically my Jean Bodies sculpture EVERY DAY LOOK AT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU WITH DIGNITY, will be featured in an upcoming print addition of Life on Venus magazine exploring Sustainable Fashion. Life on Venus is a conversational magazine who aims to influence positive change by having open conversations.

As many of you know, I have been working on a series of textile sculptures, titled Jean Bodies, made from reclaimed jeans. The reuse of used denim jeans in my project speaks directly to sustainable fashion. People all over the world wear jeans and the style of jeans shifts every season causing them to be cast aside for the new style generating huge amounts of waste.

EVERY DAY LOOK AT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU WITH DIGNITY, 2018, donated and cut denim jeans, 4x36x150
