Tanner MacArthur
Tanner MacArthur’s layered, mixed-media works investigate structure, memory, and material tension. Through collage, sculpture, and abstraction, he creates complex compositions that suggest shifting meanings and physical presence. He works between Milwaukee and New York, developing a practice grounded in process, experimentation, and raw material energy.
