Exhibited Artists:

• ︎ Megan Greene

  
  
  Megan Greene’s artistic practice is devoted to drawing. Her work involves careful layering of ink and colored pencil, a process that is both slow and improvisational. 
  
  Greene’s compositions are indebted to the natural world. While her drawings are abstract, she borrows heavily from the language of landscape. Her work alludes to phenomena beyond human observation—such as quantum or cosmic systems, fractal geometries, infrared or ultraviolet light rays, and atmospheric movement. Though rooted in a sense of place, the works embody a spatial and temporal dislocation by their severance from rules of perspective and laws of nature.
  
  Greene lives and works in Chicago. A native of Buffalo, NY, she earned a BFA with honors from the University of Notre Dame in 1998 and an MFA from Rutgers University in 2002. Her work is held in the permanent collections of the Albright Knox Art Gallery and the Burchfield Penney Art Center.

• ︎ Erica Westenberger

  
  
  Erica Westernberger (b. 1991) is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Erica Westenberger’s work weaves worlds together through drawing, sculpture, and installation, creating scenes shaped by apprehension, longing, and care. She composes tense encounters that reflect the emotional landscapes women wade through in search of contentment while negotiating ideals of beauty, caregiving, and achievement. This fraught feminine interiority emerges through bodies and objects that intertwine, pierce, cradle, restrain, and tie themselves into knots.
  
  Through sculptural processes, Westenberger positions these tensions as enduring social concerns. The hand-hewn surfaces of bas-reliefs echo ancient wall tablets, suggesting systems of belief and expectation embedded in representation. Dusty gardens filled with playful yet cutting amulets surround twisting bodies suspended between vulnerability and transformation. Hand-rendered ribbons, animals, and keepsakes gather as emotional artifacts, forming a private archive drawn from memory—her grandmother cleaning thorn scrapes after a fall into her rosebush, or her mother’s embrace in the garden after a family member’s diagnosis. These ornamental assemblages become fragile forms of shelter, acting as balms against fading time, memory, and social constraint.
