In the Studio with Melissa Stern

In this studio visit, Melissa Stern walks us through her practice of combining clay with mixed materials and found objects. Shaped by her background in anthropology, her figures explore family, home, and the small absurdities we all live with. As Stern puts it, her work celebrates "the ultimate triumph of ridiculous human life." Some Assembly Required, her solo exhibition, opens October 10 at 68 Prince Street Gallery. There's more where this came from! Find the full story on Melissa Stern, plus more studio visits, at moca-ny.org.
