Carrie Scanga
Carrie Scanga, Summer 2005 Artist-In-Residence, will begin working in Gallery 1 in early July and continue her residency through Aug. 4. She has spent the past year moving between artists' colonies, allowing her work to be the grounding element in her life and the means for developing relationships with the places and people she encounters in each new setting.
For her Artspace residency, Scanga will continue her exploration of enchanted forests, narratives about adolescent girls, invented landscapes, and influences from the American visual vernacular. She often works intuitively and will allow her experiences in Raleigh to shape the work for her exhibition. Scanga plans to work with paper in many forms, creating drawings on paper, along with paper maché and folded paper structures.
Scanga holds an MFA
from the University of Washington in Seattle and a BA from Bryn
Mawr College in Pennsylvania. She has been awarded fellowships
by the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA, The MacDowell
Colony, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. Recent exhibitions
include a solo show at the Hudson D. Walker Gallery, Provincetown,
MA entitled The First Flower of Spring; a two-person show
at El Conteiner, Quito, Ecuador; and group shows at the District
Fine Arts Gallery, Washington, DC; Shreve, Crump, and Lowe, Boston,
MA; and the International Print Center New York, New York City.
In addition to her residency and exhibition, Scanga will teach
a Narrative Drawing class for adults (ages 16 and up) and a Color
Reduction Linoleum Block Printing class entitled Cut Loose
with Linoleum for rising 6th-8th graders during the Artspace
Summer Arts Program.
