TRICIA MCLAUGHLIN: Fun and War Games

Reception Monday, March 5, 5:30-7:30 pm

Artist’s Talk: March 5, 6:30 pm

Tricia McLaughlin works in the realm of fantasy architecture and social structures in the form of 3D design, animation, painting, and sculpture. She plays with the ideas of restructuring human behavior. The structures are based on her own logic, which often leads to geometry that is anthropomorphized. It becomes emotional and thinking structures that consider the social interactions they effect. In her work, function follows arbitrary form. From these new forms the rules change.

McLaughlin received an MFA from Syracuse University. She has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, Travel and Media Arts Grants from the Jerome Foundation, and an Artist’s Fellowship from New York Foundation for the Arts. Her work has been exhibited in the U.S., Canada, England, Germany, Spain, Russia, Chile, South Korea, and Japan. She lives and works in New York City.
