Introducing our current project space artist Stephanie McGovern

Stephanie McGovern is an interdisciplinary and performance artist working in sculpture, textiles, video, sound, painting, and performance.

Drawing on the visual language of gardens, the works explore mourning as both a site of loss and a space for transformation. Through their sculpturally formed surfaces, the paintings consider how grief can take root, bloom, and continually reshape itself.

“The Morning Garden” is on view from now until the end of October at 209 E 23rd St. Link in bio to learn more about the exhibition.

Editorial work by MFA Ilustration & CE ☄️⁠

His work explores memory, structure, and metaphor with an atmospheric visual language.⁠
