Join mixed media artist Lauren Fensterstock as part of a series that invites Maine-based and international artists to share insights about their artistic practices and works on view in The North Atlantic Triennial: Down North exhibition.

Gallery talks will last 45 minutes, take place in the exhibition space unless otherwise noted, and have limited capacity.

Lauren Fensterstock creates elaborate sculptures and installations that explore the evolving history of our relationship to nature. These intricate artworks are constructed in the material of ladies’ accomplishments, such as quilled paper and shellwork, emphasizing the capacity of traditional female crafts to reflect on the complexities of the world beyond the domestic sphere. Her work has been the subject of nationwide exhibitions and is represented by Claire Oliver Gallery in New York.
