 Merritt Kaplan is a multidisciplinary artist who incorporates performance into her practice in addition to painting, sculpture, and video. She is of mixed Kanienkehaka (Mohawk), Blackfoot, Irish and Swedish heritage. In a recent interview, Kaplan said performance art is more about being than creating. She notes that once a painting is created, it becomes separate from her and takes on its own life, but performance art is about “presence.” And not just being present. “Performing allows us to reflect on the past and the present and be on the edge of the future,”.
