Megan Bogonovich’s sculptures delight audiences with exuberant, otherworldly botanical forms that feel at once futuristic and nostalgic. Her whimsical-seeming work eases viewers into more grounded universal concepts of adaptability and resiliency in both humans and the natural world. She creates colorful, toy-like, alien-plant and hybrid-fungi forms that bend, spiral and multiply in unexpected ways in order to accommodate one another, to thrive in adverse terrains, or to respond to human interventions- like excessive pruning. Their vibrant surfaces are covered in spiky, bumpy textures that read as both delightfully decorative and potentially poisonous, adding layers of humor and mystery. 

Megan Bogonovich’s ceramic sculptures have been shown nationally and internationally, including at Felix Art Fair LA,CA, and NADA, Paris with Mrs. Gallery, Volta Art Fair, NYC and Spring Break Art Fair, NYC with Kishka Gallery, Kent Museum, VT, Plains Art Museum, ND, Disjecta Contemporary Art Center, Portland, OR, and Fuller Craft Museum, MA. She is based in Norwich, VT and is represented by Gallery Kishka.

Artist Statement:
These sculptures seek out abundance. They aim to amplify the upbeat strangeness of the natural world. How vast, resilient and weird the smallest bits of the world can be. They look for spots where human intervention interacts with growth. The contortions that result from a cut branch. Flora’s ability to give-in and adjust. To be flexible while flamboyant. We comically mirror these adjustments in our individual quests for specific pleasures and novel appeal. The spontaneous choice,  practical or illogical work-arounds on our oddball search for joy and growth. The sculptures give into an optimistic and deliriously naive affection for the undertakings of plant and person.
