Megan Biddle is a sculptor whose practice spans printmaking and drawing. Working primarily with glass, she relates the material’s weight and gravity to the physical body, and its luminosity to the spirit. Her varied yet unified body of work reflects on the passage of time, natural phenomena, and the cycles of life and death. Through both traditional and experimental techniques, her works on paper and sculptures emphasize materiality as a point of connection between maker and viewer.

The show features cast glass objects and Life_Lines, an artist book composed of drawings extracted from Biddle’s sketchbook. These elements trace a continuity between gesture and form, fragility, and permanence. Rock faces echo geological formations, bearing embedded fragments of life and lost worlds on their surfaces. Tubes reappear throughout much of the work—both vibrant and subdued in pinks and purples—bending under the human condition of gravity, seemingly fossilizing motion. Some cauterized, some continuous, the tube becomes a portal: an entrance or an exit, a passage between the internal and external world. Through material, color, and gesture, Through Line meditates on time, transformation, and the porous boundary between the intangible and matter.

This exhibition and the accompanying artist book were produced with the generous support of the 2024 Fellowship in the Arts from the Independence Foundation.
