Marilu Swett makes sculptures and drawings that combine mechanical skeletons of the mid-20th century with organic form. Swett works with a variety of metals including bronze, lead, cast iron, rubber, and makes large scale ink drawings on paper and vellum. She
constructs and carves her cast work directly in wax, reflecting her ceramic experience. Her drawings have a strong graphic line which shows up in the sculpture as well. Swett holds an M.F.A. from Massachusetts College of Art and teaches sculpture and 3-D design at Montserrat College of Art.
