gwendolyn yoppolo is currently a studio artist in residency at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. She spent the previous years as a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation, a Studio Technician at Alfred University and as Assistant Professor at Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. She received her MFA from Penn State University in 2006. While at Penn State she received two fellowship awards for her research using the scanning electron microscope, and continues to work with this instrument to photograph the tiny landscapes of beach rubble, sugar cereals, plant seeds, and insect parts. She creates sensuous kitchen and tablewares that use the physical experience of hunger and satiation to allude to larger issues of human desire and consumption. Her visionary designs challenge us to rethink the ways we nourish ourselves and others within contemporary food culture.
