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.

Additional Events for Seeing Remnants in Life:

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

Virtual Book Club: Wednesday, March 1, 2023 from 6-7pm; join us on Instagram LIVE. We will be discussing Circe by Miller, Madeline Check my companion book list for an insight into what inspires me!

Friendship Bracelet Workshop: Sunday, March 19, 2023 from 1-3pm at the Kirkland Library (Registration is requested, but not required.)

Reworked

Reworked: Lee Davignon and Megan Prince, January 12 - Feb 11 at The Vestibule
Reception Saturday, Jan 14 4-6 pm

Tying/Untying Performance Hours: weekly on Thursdays from 5-7pm and Saturdays from 2-4pm watch Timelapse footage from my performances here.

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.

Fiber Art Now Meet-Up Fri Jan 13 6-8 pm

I'm stilll here and working!

Hi Friends,

It’s been a while since I have posted on here so I’m taking a minute to let you know that I’m still here.

I have a few ideas I’m hashing out with my artworks and I’m in the process of adding on all my Communities works on paper which all be officially for sale through on June 1!!! Please dm me with inquiries. Remember all my work is for sale unless otherwise marked (eg. Sold, Private Collection, etc.). So if you see something that you love and you’d like to have it to brighten your life don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m also editing this site in the interest of keeping the content current and fluid so come back soon to see what I have added and changed!


I have been posting a few different thoughts and iterations of my Love Paintings on my IG. Here is one with a corresponding poem:

Love’s Limits, 2022, hand-cut vinyl, 8.5 x 11.75 inches (This is a one of a kind, hand-cut vinyl sticker to be placed on any surface.)

Limitations
Life’s limits are held by love’s limits.
I love and accept my limitations if you let me.
I love and accept your limitations if you let me.
Without these limits,
What are the possibilities?
What are the other possibilities?
What are all of the possibilities?
We set the limits.
How much can we love each other?

Much love to you all and thanks for the support!

Thank you for your support and love this past week!

What a week that was! My week long 15% off virtual art sale is over.

I raised more than $700.00 for Choose 180 and made the donation yesterday. Thank you for choosing to invest in change! As a result of your generosity young people throughout our community will have the chance to make their 180. Thank you all for helping me put our money where it matters most, in the hands of important ground-breaking organizations like Choose 180. Especially when they are lead by our black and brown family. They know best where the money can be used and how to get there.

Love Painting No. 46, gouache and ink on cotton paper, 6x8 inches, $100.

We all have a place and role to play in life. Each person is different. Each of us matters. Each of us is needed. My Love Paintings point to how each and every one of us needs and deserves love in our daily life, and we are needed by others. You are not alone. You are seen and loved just as you are.

Thank you for all of your emotional, physical, and financial support of my art practice! Lots of people will have new beautiful art in their homes soon to add beauty and so much more to their daily lives.

All the hopes and dreams,

Megan
