Michelle Segre on Her Work
Sculptor Michelle Segre discusses her layered, hybrid sculptures that blend organic and industrial forms in unexpected ways.
Why we picked this
Segre's sculptures look like they grew rather than were built — this talk should illuminate the process behind objects that feel simultaneously natural and constructed.
Michelle Segre makes sculptures that combine organic and industrial materials into forms that resist easy categorization — part botanical, part architectural, part something else entirely. This talk at the New York Studio School gives her the floor to discuss process, materials, and the ideas driving her practice.
Segre’s work has been exhibited widely and occupies a distinctive position in contemporary sculpture: formally rigorous but visually strange, with a material vocabulary that includes wire, plaster, fabric, and found objects assembled into structures that seem to follow their own internal logic. The Studio School’s tradition of artist-led conversation makes this a more intimate setting than a museum lecture.
