Burlington artist Meghan Raymond organizes everyday detritus — grocery lists, safety pins, journal pages, string, seeds — into visual textures and patterns. She stitches these objects together in bundles, or encases them in wax, and in doing so removes their context and history. In her artist statement, Raymond explains that she is “exploring issues of identity, privacy, nature’s sublimity and the experience of time.” Her encaustic paintings and small sculptural works are on view in a solo exhibit titled “Present Tense.”
