About

Mel Nothern is a visual artist who lives and works in California, specializing in sculpture and stained glass. Nothern completed her MFA in Studio Art at San Francisco State University in 2023. She makes sculpture to explore the fleeting nature of life and memory, and the futility of our compulsion to capture it. Nothern believes that food and memory are inextricably intertwined, sisters in utero who hold hands all their lives. In her work, the whole is broken down into swallowable bits; pieces of a life waiting to be examined, considered, and chewed over.
