Meg Webster's work finds inspiration in the intrinsic beauty of natural materials. Using metal, glass, and organic elements like salt, soil, twigs, and moss, Webster creates large-scale installations and precise structures rooted in the traditions of Land Art of the 1970s. Also highly influenced by minimalist artists like Donald Judd, Carl Andre, and Robert Morris, Webster draws on their rigorous formal vocabulary to create simple, geometric forms that directly and perceptually engage the body and its senses. Webster was born in San Francisco in 1944. She received an M.F.A. from Yale University in 1983. Webster's work has been exhibited at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York City; the Tel Aviv Museum of Art; the Rooseum, Malmö, Sweden; the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City; and the PS1 Contemporary Art Center in Long Island City, New York. Most recently, Webster participated in the two-person exhibition, Natura Naturans, at Villa Panza in Varese, Italy. She also presented her large-scale earthwork, Concave Room for Bees, at Socrates Sculpture Park, commissioned for their May 2016 exhibition, LANDMARK.
