ABOUT

Kline Swonger is an interdisciplinary artist and designer. Originally from Los Angeles, she received a double major Bachelor of Arts in Art and Environmental Studies from Pitzer College and a degree in Landscape Architecture. She earned a Master of Fine Arts in Art with an emphasis in sculpture from San Diego State University School of Art and Design. Her practice and research primarily involves installation, sculpture, and community-engaged public art, in which concepts of place, psychology of space, and perception are explored. Light, shadow, and materials representative of both urban and natural landscapes are incorporated into her art, allowing for moments of reflection and pause. Through her work she explores the relationship formed when the boundary between internal and external landscapes dissolve, and the consequence of separation or fragmentation. Her work has been exhibited along the west coast, and her local public art has been installed within the San Diego International Airport, City of San Diego, City of El Cajon, and City of National City. Her work is part of the City of San Diego and SDSU’s permanent collections.
