Stephanie Van Riet (b. Boston, MA; l. Providence, RI) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice seeks to cultivate compassion and bring attention to our natural world and the often-overlooked creatures endangered by modern lifestyles. Fascinated by how living beings sculpt the contours of our planet and develop collective intelligence through movement, she visually organizes her observations and research through sculpture, printmaking, artist books, and installation.

Van Riet received her BA in Art and Anthropology from Connecticut College in New London, CT and is currently pursuing her MFA in Sculpture at Rhode Island School of Design, Providence RI. At RISD, she works as a Biomaterials Graduate Assistant at the Nature Lab, furthering her exploration of interspecies collaboration and sustainable approaches to creating.

“Through my work, I seek to understand our transient being within the scope of deep time. I am inspired by the finitude of life, and how through the fraction of a second that we live, we continue to create, search for meaning and pattern, and question the gravity of existence.” - Stephanie Van Riet

Experience Stephanie Van Riet’s work informed by the architecture of the universe at Sky Slips Through Stone, on view at AUTOMAT until September 27th.
