TEMPLATE EXAMPLE:

Margaret Fletcher

Assistant Professor of Architecture

chung chung rlung

Encaustic and dry transfer on braced panel

15 3/4”x 15 3/4” unframed, 16”X16” framed

2013

Fletcher is a practicing artist with gallery representation through Sandler Hudson Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia where she was awarded a solo exhibition titled OCUS 11 ante litteram in the fall of 2013. She has won numerous awards for art, architecture and graphic design. Most recently, she was named a Fellow of the Hambidge Creative Residency Program and was a finalist for the Forward Arts Foundation 2012 Emerging Artist Award. She was a Studio Artist at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center from 2009–2011. Through a design collaboration with Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects, she won over twelve American Institute of Architects (AIA) Awards including three National AIA Awards of Excellence in Architecture.

 

The submitted piece is part of a larger body of work, OCUS 11 ante litteram, presented at Sandler Hudson Gallery in the fall of 2013. Ante litteram literally translates to “before the letters.” Its meaning is related to the creation of something before the word to describe it exists. The visual communication of spatial construction is central to this creative work and bridges art and architecture to explore investigations into spatial culture and communicative relationships. Fletcher takes inspiration from pattern, minutia, flow, rigidity and chance. Current work focuses specifically on issues of cognition, connection, and articulation and often relies on the swarming and flocking of a variety of spatial systems.
