Stephanie Metz
Stephanie Metz (United States, b.1976) creates sculptures that embody nuanced, contradictory ideas to offer viewers a means to connect, reconsider, and sit with complex realities. She uses nontraditional techniques in fiber-- stitching thick industrial felt and needle felting-- to create three-dimensional objects that are both seductive and repulsive, muscular and yet elegant. Metz holds a BFA in Sculpture from the University of Oregon and she lives and works in the California Bay Area. Her work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. and internationally. Awards include grants from the Belle Foundation, the Center for Cultural Innovation, and SVCreates.
