“In Depth”
You can describe a wave as no beginning and no end, birth and death…Looking deeply, we can see that the waves are at the same time water…seeking there own true nature…the nature of nondiscrimination, of no birth, of no death, of no being and of no non-being.
Thich Nhat Hanh
June Ahrens creates sculpture and site-dependent installations that incorporate everyday materials. Loss, pain, fragility and danger are major inspirations for her work. She isolates these materials to refocus the viewer’s attention toward exploring and examining their own thoughts and feelings.
Selected solo and group shows include the Meade Museum, Amherst, MA, Neuberger Museum, Purchase, NY. Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh, Scotland, In-Site, Sculpture Guild, Governors Island, NY. Grants include, NEA, CT Commission on the Arts, Polaroid and Duracell Companies among others.
