Extinct organisms are hybridized with extant mammalian forms to create evolutionary relationships which reinforce connections through Earth's pre-history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1587840879544-11U2R4WBM7S1PAIWNI3K/Megalonyx%2BDecomposition.jpg extinct:extant - Megalonyx Decomposition 30” x 36” Encaustic, oil paint, oil sticks, graphite on canvas 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430615843230-D0J7PDL3VJXF00BYI5G3/image-asset.jpeg extinct:extant - Dicynodon VD and Right Lateral 22" x 30" Charcoal and graphite on paper 2013   Photo Credit: Christopher Ernst https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430616055420-R9KFHP1J7B6TZ27KHW3Y/image-asset.jpeg extinct:extant - Dicynodon Bison 22" x 30" Charcoal and graphite on paper 2013   Photo Credit: Christopher Ernst https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430616538387-MKDTOXHXFR6VFD95DE26/image-asset.jpeg extinct:extant - Damalborea Camel 22" x 30" Charcoal, graphite, watercolor on paper 2013   Photo Credit: Christopher Ernst https://www.mandagorsegner.com/fossil-jackets daily 0.75 2020-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430617504823-S9BNHRTVBTJSUJZSJN8N/Gorsegner.Amanda.11.jpg fossil jackets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1431024341512-6WRH9DDQOSG2UYFURNAG/image-asset.jpeg fossil jackets - Pillows, Cocoons, Fossil Jackets Pillowy fossil jackets are wrapped in twine or sewn shut, hiding their contents, glazed in encaustic and honey, buried and unearthed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430790900065-9FP85OMQVAWBCOKDPQ6N/Gorsegner.Amanda.11.jpg fossil jackets - Honey Fossil Jacket #8 6" x 3" x 3" Coffee soaked linen, wooden chair fragments, thread, encaustic, honey 2009 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430790779493-QOHKVTO7R2I4AMUG3RPK/Gorsegner.Amanda.09.jpg fossil jackets - Honey Fossil Jacket #4 3" x 5" x 3" Coffee soaked linen, wooden chair fragments, thread, encaustic, honey 2009 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430790840800-IA4AYWDPUMSO66TGLAGA/Gorsegner.Amanda.10.jpg fossil jackets - Honey Fossil Jacket #5 4" x 10" x 3" Coffee soaked linen, wooden chair fragments, thread, encaustic, honey 2009 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430791006095-L5SS6SOR61S6P9ZCVODQ/Gorsegner.Amanda.07.jpg fossil jackets - Buried Fossil Jacket #2 4" x 7" x 2" wood, linen, twine, soil, gesso 2010   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430791071643-R1JWGMFXNSG46NLYCAX8/Gorsegner.Amanda.08.jpg fossil jackets - Buried Fossil Jacket #3 4" x 4" x 3" Wood, linen, twine, soil, gesso 2010   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1531862723439-RVFI8IKZJN8MPAKY5C58/Fossil+Jacket+Pillows.jpg fossil jackets - Fossil Jacket Pillows 48" x 90" Encaustic, coffee, charcoal, and oil paint on canvas 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430790455828-HPV1RZRTYRS7N3KJR8WH/Gorsegner.Amanda.14.jpg fossil jackets - Clusters and Pours 30" x 36" Encaustic, coffee, and oil paint on canvas 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430790524154-4THTMNFKV3LHBZ7G0BDA/Gorsegner.Amanda.15.jpg fossil jackets - Decomposing Pillows 30" x 36" Encaustic and oil paint on canvas 2009 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1430790355755-C5YTJR069YCE1MQ0UEAI/Gorsegner.Amanda.13.jpg fossil jackets - Cocoons and Colonies 48" x 90" Encaustic, charcoal, and oil paint on canvas 2009 https://www.mandagorsegner.com/projects daily 0.75 2020-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1509392779747-VYULE02676CO19Q9P5BD/22008108_502036483479979_7150136370152348976_n.jpg Projects - Arts Supporter $35 Annual Dues Discounted Fees to Workshops & Events Free Tote Bag Monthly Newsletter Invitation to our monthly Artist Series, such as A2A, Coffee &Critique, Tech Night, Films, Lectures, and more! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1607119255940-NLEATO9P863I8BJRSTA2/image-asset.jpeg Projects - WANDER 7” x 7” Handmade pollution paper, encaustic, black tea, charcoal on panel 2020 Pollution papers are created first from the process of a site clean-up. Data is collected on material types, quantities, site location and date. Debris is sorted for pulping, recycling and landfill. Pulping debris is soaked and rinsed, then pulped with other natural fibers to create pollution papers. This project continues to evolve. https://www.mandagorsegner.com/oyster-aesthetics daily 0.75 2018-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1475417472658-XVPSAPCD07KBVHUB92YP/Manda+1_Web.png Oyster Aesthetics - Oyster Concrete Pour In 2016, I was chosen as one of four artists to be paired with four local environmental organizations for a National Endowment for the Arts grant project on Sandy Hook, New Jersey. I was paired with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Each of the artists met with the environmental groups to discuss their programs, barriers to public education, and most pressing local environmental issues. All four organizations noted the massive amounts of marine and coastal non-point source pollution that plagued our shores. The artists worked with Clean Ocean Action and hundreds of their volunteers over nine months to sort and collect coastal debris to use in four public art installations, located on the beaches of Sandy Hook--a national park, historic landmark, and barrier peninsula. Shown here, a test sample from my studio out on Sandy Hook. Oyster concrete, handmade from crushing recycled restaurant oyster shells, sand, water, and cement. My project was fueled from discussions with NOAA about their involvement with New Jersey's first artificial reef system. With the help of the American Littoral Society, I began collecting, cleaning, crushing, and creating concrete from recycled restaurant oyster shells--often embedding coastal pollution into the pieces and using other found debris as molds that rest atop rebar. The concrete smelled of the ocean and was incredibly durable. The Oyster Aesthetics project was born and continues today.   Photo Credit: Lisa DeSantis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/554396f7e4b0bf31e54c4105/1475417472658-XVPSAPCD07KBVHUB92YP/Manda+1_Web.png Oyster Aesthetics - Oyster Concrete Pour In 2016, I was chosen as one of four artists to be paired with four local environmental organizations for a National Endowment for the Arts grant project on Sandy Hook, New Jersey.
