Paul Swenbeck’s work combines sculpture, painting, photography, and craft to create installations that explore occult and spiritual themes--filtered through his own idiosyncratic perspective. Swenbeck grew up in Salem, Massachusetts a city infamously known for the witch trial hysteria in colonial America. His works are found in the West Collection in Philadelphia and The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. His most recent installation was at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia where he collaborated with his wife Joy Feasley to build a solar oven in a greenhouse that was used in a celebration of the pagan holiday, Imbolc. Swenbeck graduated with a degree in ceramics from Massachusetts College of Art in 1991. He lives and works in Philadelphia.
