| ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Meredith Dalglish received her Master of Fine Arts degree from Claremont Graduate School in 1983. She retains a fascination with prehistoric female imagery and natural forms. Her inspiration comes from petroglyphs, cave and stone paintings, tidal pools, rock formations, and the cliffs of the Northern California coast where she was artist-in-residence at the Mendocino Art Center from 2002 to 2004. Meredith has completed national |

commissions, and has been an artist in residence nationally and internationally and volunteered on the now famous Judy Chicago "Dinner Party" Project now on permanent exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY, NY. Dalglish uses wet, recycled clays to form organic shapes into which she embeds materials like dry color, clay trimmings, powdered pigment and pieces of tile. After kiln firing, she often adds bits of glass, shard, shell, bone, rusty metal, wire, and driftwood in an effort to combine and contrast natural and machine manufactured content. Her most recent wall sculptures and paintings have a flexible durability. They are loose, intensely reactive statements which intermingle things like photographs or tar paper with her favorite natural and man-made resources. Incorporating an experimental technique she calls "procaustic", Dalglish manipulates her own melted wax process similar to encaustic painting. Meredith's work is distinctly feminine and presents ancient overtones in a modern context. Color, form, and texture generate an interplay of themes. Nature, spirituality, social unrest, and issues of the mysterious human heart recur in all Dalglish's art. For more about Meredith, please visit www.merartstudio.com. |
