Tandem Press: Exhibition – Teralyn Brown: Overgrown

Teralyn Brown: Overgrown

Reception: Friday, May 2, 5-8pm

Tandem Press is pleased to host Overgrown, a Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition by Teralyn Brown, University of Wisconsin-Madison MFA Candidate and 2024-2025 Tandem Press Studio Curatorial Project Assistant. In an effort to make sense of life and the human experience, Teralyn Brown creates etchings of abandoned furniture found amongst nature and along roadsides. In these images that embody the essence of change, grief, and hope in the face of the unknown, Brown navigates uncomfortable themes through the familiar anonymity of typically comfortable furniture.

Artist Biography

Teralyn Brown is a printmaking artist and educator from Mountain View, CA, currently residing in Madison, WI. Characterized by highly detailed linework and faceless portraiture, Brown’s work explores the shared humanity of messiness and the uncomfortable embrace of impermanence. Just as essential to Brown’s work is her use of found objects and the collective engagement of friends, family, and acquaintances in the search for quietly candid subject matter in their daily lives. Brown has a BA in Studio Art from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and is currently an MFA Candidate in Printmaking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Brown is a recipient of the 2024 Gabriele S. Haberland Travel Grant.

This exhibition is supported by the Anonymous Fund.
