Ian L.C. Swordy is a Brooklyn-based artist whose practice encompasses sculpture, writing, and performance. Emerging from the Long Island and Brooklyn music scene of the early aughts, Swordy has reshaped his practice in the last several years, now working in carved stone, wood, and found-object assemblage, which he filters through punk’s performative, self-determinant lens. Swordy has authored two books, The Bull Loving Truth, in 2018, and Will & Grace, in 2020, recounting his musician, activist, and performance years, and the origins of his current practice. While living in Vermont, Swordy taught figure drawing at the Hall Art Foundation, in Reading, Vermont, and Drawing at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH; he received his BA in studio art from Hunter College in 2007, and his MFA in sculpture at Yale University in 2009. Swordy lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
