Seeing Remnants in Life at The Kirkland Library

My large-scale installation, Seeing Remnants in Life, is up NOW through March 30, 2023 the Kirkland Library in partnership with The Kirkland Arts Center! In support of my art installation I am offering four different FREE public engagements over the duration of the show. Our first event is just around the corner:

Meet the Artist: Tuesday, January 31, 2023 at 6pm. I will be in conversation with Associate Curator and Gallery Program Manager of the Kirkland Art Center, Ellen McGivern about Seeing Remnants in Life. (Registration is requested, but not required.) Reasonable accommodation for people with disabilities is available by request. Email access@kcls.org at least seven days before the event. Automated closed captioning is always available for online events.

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.

Reworked

Reworked: Lee Davignon and Megan Prince, January 12 - Feb 11 at The Vestibule

Press release for Reworked at The Vestibule.

Lee Davignon and Megan Prince rework textile and plastic into sculpture and installations. In her participatory, durational performance, Tying/Untying, Prince invites visitors to knot a mass of reused textile while she attempts to unknot it and remake it into a sculpture. The project echoes the frustration and reward of working with others.

Davignon, a weaver by training, unmakes material while keeping its history of use. They unwind marine rope, ball hair, break up plastic packaging, and then they reweave or resculpt it until it is almost unrecognizable. They model how art-making ought to be aware of its material history and material future.
