Artlab 6: Emptiness

Join visual artist and writer Meg Kaczyk in exploring the paradox of where and when form meets formlessness. How is this felt? What is the relationship of solidity to spaciousness? In visual art we can think of emptiness as negative space that contains content. In dance, we can feel it as stillness between movement. In poetry, it can be a pause within description. In music, silence. When does nothing become something? How does form meet its edges? This inquiry can cross creative disciplines, collaboratively or individually, culminating in a shared experience of discovery.

Meg Kaczyk's work is informed by the natural world, contemporary poetry, meditation practice, and life’s transitions — consciously uncovering joy, grief, gratitude and presence found in everyday life. Her book Notes from Next to the Bed: A Caregiving Love Story in Words & Pictures was published in 2024, and its art exhibited at Jefferson Museum of Art & History in Spring 2025. Her latest paintings, “Still, Life” will be shown in May 2026 at Aurora Loop Gallery in Port Townsend. Meg teaches creative process workshops at Northwind Art School, and other regional locations.
