Join ArtsWorcester for a gallery tour with artist Rebecca McGee Tuck, lives streaming from the East Gallery! Take a walk with this prize-winning artist as we glimpse a menagerie of sculptures comprising her very first solo exhibition.

Present Tense Prize Winner Rebecca McGee Tuck weaves a sculptural narrative using sea debris she collects along the Massachusetts shoreline for her first solo exhibition, "Along the Wrack Line."

Tuck is a fiber artist, a sculptor and a collector of lost objects. After a 25-year hiatus from art school to raise her family, Tuck earned her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2019. Her work is a visual narrative of what she accumulates from a throwaway society, and as a result, how she gives new life to what others discard. Tuck has shown her work in multiple juried shows throughout New England including the Beacon Gallery and the Fountain Street Gallery in Boston. She has recently been selected to be an Associate's Member of the Boston Sculptors Gallery. Tuck works among her menagerie of debris from her studio at the Mill Contemporary Art Studios in Framingham.

The Present Tense Prize, awarding a solo exhibition and a $1,000 award, recognizes an artist whose work exemplifies new practices, artistic risk-taking, and excellence in execution.
