Our programs and outreach director, Willard Watson, sat down with wood artist, Aspen Golann, to learn more about her back ground and artistic process.
Aspen Golann is an artist specializing in 17th and 18th century furniture. This interview is part of an Artist interview series we are conducting with exhibiting artists in our exhibit Branching Out: Works in Wood from North Carolina.
Through the manipulation of classic American furniture forms, her work explores themes of gender and power. Her artwork is exhibited nationally and is published in Fine Woodworking, Lost Art Press Blog, Art New England, and American Period Furniture.
Aspen does domestic and international commission work for designers such as Beata Heuman in the UK, The Harvard Design Project in Boston, MA and Building Preservation Associates in Nantucket, MA.
She has received support for her work from The Massachusetts Cultural Council, The Society of American Period Furniture Makers, Anderson Ranch Art Center and The Maloof Foundation.
