New artist in residence at Westport Woods

Posted

Artist Hanna Vogel is the June Artist in Residence at Westport Woods Conservation Park.

This is the second year of the residence program, a collaboration between the Westport Cultural Council and the Westport Land Conservation Trust.

Vogel said her multi-part installation was inspired from previous installations in porcelain that create structure from clusters of lattices that grow and mound together.

"I will combine this form with the materials from my other installations that use steel and paper pulp to evoke elements of growth and decay in nature," she wrote. "The clusters of lattices will be installed in multiple places along the walking trails, growing with and around the existing plants like a new species trying to fit in, despite lacking their physical flexibility and organic adaptability."

During the June residency, Vogel invites viewers to witness creation in the WLCT workshop at 573 Adamsville Road. In addition, she will conduct a workshop open to the public on June 18 and 19, and host an artist forum about the work at the Shattuck gallery on Main Road on June 23 at 6 p.m. The Westport Cultural Council would like to thank DeDee Shattuck for her generosity in hosting the artist forums at the conclusion of each residency.

The program is made possible by the support of the Helen Ellis Charitable Trust.
