Meagen Svendsen’s vernacular of ceramic works references the shared impact and cross-pollination of the human-made and natural world.

Informed by her years living in France, Japan, Mexico and Russia, and inspired by an inquiry into current discoveries in biology, ecology and neuroscience, she explores tensions between the perception of nature as exotic other and the practical implications of scientific findings on the interconnection between wildlife and humanity.

Svendsen is also the lead singer-songwriter in the band Avifauna.
