Solo exhibition featuring works by Meredith Starr.

In One Wild and Precious Life, 3D prints and digital paintings on fabric draw inspiration from 3D scans of native plants, emphasizing the glitches that occur during the 3D scanning process. A VR experience included in this installation immerses the viewer in an artificial wonder-world, further demonstrating that technology is a poor substitute for nature.

About the Artist
Meredith Starr is an interdisciplinary artist living in New York who creates interactive moments in her installations using AR and VR. She earned her BS from NYU, and her MFA from Long Island University. She has published three apps to the App Store for iOS devices: Plastic Swim, You Are Here VR, and Balancing Act AR. Her work has been published in Suboart Magazine, Art Seen: Curator’s Salon, and CALYX: A Journal of Art and Literature by Women. Starr’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, notably in Oslo, Seoul, Tokyo, and New York. She recently exhibited work at Montgomery College (Maryland) and in London’s Great Portland Metro Station, and in a satellite exhibit of the Venice Biennale at the Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello. She has completed residencies at Zero Foot Hills, Playa Summer Lake, and Two Cents Press in Serrazzano, Italy. Starr is also an Associate Professor of Visual Arts at SUNY Suffolk County Community College. On some projects, she collaborates with poet Sarah Kain Gutowski, and her former art school roommate, photographer Dayna Leavitt. When she’s not in the studio, you can find her on a run, often pausing to photograph a sculptural arrangement of trash at the curb.
