Johnny Swing
Johnny Swing converts American currency into biomorphic furniture transcending their materiality. While the first part of his career was spent in New York City’s Lower East Side – where he exhibited sculptures and furniture made with salvaged industrial materials – today, Swing resides at his workshop and farm in Vermont. Earlier chapters saw him pass through a number of notable institutions, such as Skidmore College and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, where he obtained his Class 1 Structural Steel Welding qualification. Today, his work features in permanent collections worldwide.
