< Back To Artists Page MICHAEL WEBSTER Drayton, SC BIO Michael Webster is an artist who focuses on the social organization of space through site-specific projects, sculpture, and installation. His work is context-driven and materially attuned, investigating the effects of power on social geography with a focus on long-term participatory projects rooted in the southern United States. Additionally, he has completed projects in Chicago, Ill., Moorestown, N.J., and Talca, Chile, and has participated in residencies at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences, Elsewhere Living Museum, and Penland School of Craft. Michael's exhibitions include 701 Center for Contemporary Art, Locust Projects, Wiregrass Museum of Art, Tiger Strikes Asteroid Greenville, and Western Carolina University. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from East Carolina University and a Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he participated in the GFRY interdisciplinary design studio. Currently, he is an assistant professor at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carlina. ARTIST STATEMENT Through projects that span sculpture, archives, and cartographic impulses, I respond to the becomings and undoings of space. Maps present the false illusion of a static world entombed by the grid, a conception of space as mathematical. Instead, my work begins with a social conception of space, where shifting territorial boundaries form strata between people. I seek moments where boundaries become permeable: a place where architecture dissolves into raw matter or the surveyor’s tools encode a digital artifact. By finding residues where systems are revealed, I question the processes of demarcation and displacement which inscribe sites of contention on the land. My practice is responsive at its core. Rather than invent new images, I recontextualize things already in circulation or develop site-specific, participatory projects. Sometimes I will live with an object for a decade before I can meet it on its own terms. This responsiveness acknowledges social and material agency outside of myself and ultimately makes my practice a symbiotic one. Other people and other things offer many insights about living in fractured geographies. Their faint echoes reverberate through every space, carrying layered histories to anyone willing to listen. I work in the amplification of echoes.

VIEW GALLERY ART Bradley Copeland Bradley Copeland is a prolific 24 year-old artist living in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida with an inventory amassing over 600 pieces and growing rapidly. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Bradley’s passion for art has existed for as long as she can remember. The artist graduated from Auburn University in 2018 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art, but it wasn't until the end of her time in college that she realized her relationship with art was much more than mere amusement; it was completely indispensable. After graduating from college, Bradley apprenticed under Alabama artist Catie Radney, and moved to Florida's panhandle a year later in 2020. Here, Bradley’s passion and career flourished. She has since held three solo shows, multiple group shows, participated in numerous live painting events, and was featured on the cover of Emerald Coast Magazine. The up and coming artist’s work can be found in several galleries across the Southeast, including her own. Bradley lives and works out of her studio/gallery in Hogtown Bayou, obsessively painting and creating, inspired by everything around her. Bradley considers art to be her religion, her compass, and her greatest love. https://www.bradleycopelandstudio.com/
