Marcy Edelstein

Marcy Edelstein received her BA from Brandeis University and MA/MFA degrees from the University of Iowa. She subsequently taught at the Universities of Tennessee and Virginia before settling in Brooklyn, New York. Edelstein has exhibited widely in New York City and throughout the United States. Her work

is included in collections at the Brooklyn Museum, the Library of Congress and the Roswell Museum and Art Center. In addition to RAiR, she has attended the Cummington Community for the Arts Residency Program. Her current sculptures employ an abstract language that explores the line between nature and culture, and is deeply informed by biology, natural history and evolutionary theory.
