Virginia Overton is an artist in residence at the Sitterwerk guest studio from June to August 2025.
Virginia Overton (*1971 in Nashville, USA, lives in New York) is known for her large-scale sculptures made from found building materials, which she transforms into new, spatial structures. Her works are characterized by a process-oriented, improvisational approach to space and material.
