Sally Clegg is an artist, writer, and educator from Pelham Massachusetts. Her work comes from a fascination with evolving comfort/delight relationships between people and things, and our efforts to make meaning from them. Her studio practice is rooted in expanded printmaking, and informed by interdisciplinary research. Clegg integrates lived experience, history, popular culture, literature, and philosophy as material for artmaking, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity, absurdity, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to objects and to ourselves.
Clegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University, The New York Public Library, and elsewhere. She is a 2018 Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellow in Drawing & Printmaking, and her work has appeared in ASAP/Journal, BOMB Magazine, Sculpture Magazine, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan.
