Margaret Swan’s new sculpture is a departure from her work in sheet metal, her principle medium for many years. Inspired by the structure and rhythms of natural forms, Swan creates layering planes of light and shadow in her new multi-part concrete sculptures. Working over polystyrene armatures, she sculpts the surfaces with a mixture of pigmented concrete and coal slag that suggests the texture of stone.

Swan is a founding member of Boston Sculptors. Her sculpture has been included in exhibitions throughout New England, including the Aldrich Museum, the DeCordova Museum, and the Institute of Contemporary Art. Awarded two Massachusetts Artist Fellowships in Sculpture and other grants during her career, Swan has a commissioned site-specific piece on view at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
