"TRANSMUTATIONS," February 26 - March 27, 2021
The Clay Center is proud to present "Transmutations," a solo exhibition of work by Florida-based artist Meaghan Gates. The work featured in this exhibition consists of a series of hypothetical instances within the experience of fictitious biomorphic forms. These forms address the interconnected quality that organisms and the environment have with one another; symbiotic relationships which can lead to an array of outcomes in order to find an equilibrium.
Meaghan was selected for this exhibition opportunity through our annual open call for solo artist exhibition proposals. After reviewing applications from over 40 different artists, the Clay Center Board of Directors invited Meaghan to show her work in our gallery. See and shop the entire show online!

About the Artist
Meaghan Gates is a ceramicist who received her BFA from California State University, Chico and her MFA from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth as a Distinguished Art Fellow. She has worked and exhibited her ceramic sculptures both internationally and across the Unites States. Currently, she continues to develop new forms and teach as an adjunct professor at the University West Florida. Meaghan makes abstracted biological forms that are intended to be empathized with through their anthropomorphic qualities of gesture and color, in order to hypothesize the potential outcomes of change.
