About this Event
Collage artist Vanessa Compton discusses her work, which is currently on view in the museum’s large outdoor window bays.
Born and raised in Vermont, Compton has lived in Dakar, Senegal, where she studied the kora and its influence on contemporary hip hop music; and Kumasi, Ghana, where she studied Highlife (a music genre) and palm wine guitar. She received a BFA from the University of Colorado Boulder, with an emphasis in ceramic sculpture. For many years, she lived a life of migration, working as a seasonal rock-climbing guide in the Southwest and attending artist residencies. Her collages and sculptures have been exhibited in galleries and museums across the U.S. and appear in private collections around the world. She lives and works in Burlington, Vermont.
This event is presented in connection with the exhibit A Night at the Garden.
