Webster built a world where nature became geometry.

Soil, salt, and beeswax form minimalist volumes grounded in care for the earth.

‍

In her world, structure grows.

Structural Focus

Material as Condition

Material behavior determines outcome more than composition or image. Gravity, density, texture, or resistance guide form.

In Meg Webster’s work, this approach appears where organic matter shapes spatial presence.

Position

Material as Condition

Material behavior determines outcome more than composition or image. Gravity, density, texture, or resistance guide form.

In Meg Webster’s work, this approach appears where organic matter shapes spatial presence.

Form is governed by rigid rules, limits, and non-negotiable constraints.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Landscape becomes material, site, and scale.

Work is defined by making, duration, and transformation.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

Relation as structure

thought as environmental structure

site as instrument

material as perception
