Bio: Megan March is a Bay Area based interdisciplinary artist working in ceramic sculpture, sound, performance, and 2D media. Her practice explores questions and narratives around the activation of empty spaces, identity within the body, motherhood, resilience, and the parallel lines between the body and land. March received her BFA in Music, Studio Art, and English from Mills College, and recently received her MFA from California College of the Arts. She has released albums and toured much of Europe and North America with her musical projects, pushing the boundaries of performance, form, and genre. Thriving on the physicality of sculpting and percussion, on any given day you can find March in her studio using her hands to form clay or sound.
Statement: A near-death experience during childbirth at an understaffed hospital fuels my focus on the connective tissue of fragility and resilience between human bodies and the body of the land. I sculpt these forms in clay—an ideal, volatile, and imperfect medium—to explore the visceral feelings and landscape of the body and geographical narratives of violence and healing. While my vessels provoke questions on the presence of emptiness and potential, my clay impressions are artifacts of a hidden reality - allowing us to see and feel what the air touches on the surface of our environments.
