Meg/Megita Amaranth Denton
An artist’s statement is an act of love.
Intermedia artist that deeply intertwines my land-based background. My focus pulls from ecological systems within practices of – film -https://vimeo.com/megdenton, contemporary furniture, paintings, sculptures, sound, textiles, print media, welding, performance art, design, resilient landscapes, woodworking, murals with Art Seed PDX, photography, site specific public works, Nature based forms called ‘bio-anchors’ and often large formats to fit my big moods of passion.
Exploratory endeavors of environment, collaborations, and expressing interconnectedness fuels my work and relation to others, the natural and spiritual arenas- in pursuit of positive change and consciousness. I am building on the elevation of my Indigenous cultural perspective and using detritus to evoke a powerful sense of nostalgia that emits joy, contemplation, connection, and inspiration.
With a bedded foundation in the PNW soil, I have been circling with vibrations from this and filtering them through my lens. Land is the mesa from which I push and pull my art from. So, sit down at the table with me and let’s move art together…
