Dittmar's language originates from a practice of sketching her feelings and shifting with the location of perception. She returns to her native medium, polymer clay, and continues into steel. Bending the same form in multiple ways as our mind bends a singular infinite awareness.

The Texture of Awareness is Dittmar's most explicit attempt to date to illuminate/accentuate the texture of awareness. Which is always available to see. The visual language originates from a practice of sketching her feelings and sensations and shifting/playing with the location and borders of perception. She returns to her native medium, polymer clay, and continues her exploration into steel. Bending the same form in multiple ways as our mind bends a singular infinite awareness into separate objects.

Artist Meredith Dittmar takes a freeform, unencumbered approach to her work, exploring the immediate moment and whatever arises in it. Small experiments in polymer clay and paper, gather and merge spontaneously into larger images, animations, wall pieces, or installations. At the heart of her practice is an urge to express the nature of reality directly and clearly, while at the same time, there exists a wild playfulness that pushes at the edges of things, craves innovation, and plumbs the unknown. She uses art-making as a way to explore, illuminate, and break down the boundaries of the conditioned self and grapple with the external demands of the identities we assume.

With an education primarily in engineering, computer science, and sociology, professional careers in interactive and design, and a decade as a full-time artist, with solo shows in Los Angeles, Portland, Istanbul, and Mexico City, she now harnesses all her selves, past and present, to bring complex projects of all kinds to life.
