Meryl Pataky

Born February 22, 1983 in South Florida, I moved to San Francisco to attend the Academy of Art University where I quickly fell in love with the tactile nature of sculpture.

My work relies on memory and personal experience, employing mixed media and metal to investigate the human condition. My most current body of installation revolves around a recognizable and nostalgic form, the swing, in a variety of different physical and emotional environments. I currently sell my jewelry at RVCA on Haight and Ashbury.
