“Edd Ravn is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans growing bacteria, painting with rainwater, recording soundscapes and designing public furniture to co-create objects that question perception and connection. With a BFA from the Glasgow School of Art and an MFA in Painting from the Yale School of Art, Ravn’s work has been exhibited at RAINRAIN Gallery, New York, the Norton Museum of Art, Florida, and the Brazilian Embassy in London. He has served as visiting artist and critic at Yale University, Princeton University, and the University of Michigan. In 2017, he participated in the Porthmeor Studios Residency in St. Ives, England, and in 2020, he received an Art and Social Justice Initiative Award from Yale University.
Ravn is currently part of the 2024-25 cohort of Fellows at the Fine Arts Work Center (FAWC) in Provincetown, a unique seven-month international residency program for artists and writers in Provincetown from October to May. His art and spirit resonate with the amalgam of eleven square miles of nature in the National Seashore and the creative time and space that FAWC provides emerging artists.“
