Mercury Swift is an artist from Baltimore. Their art practice includes glasswork, metalwork, and butoh-inspired performance art. Swift has exhibited work in Baltimore, NYC, Providence, Chicago, San Diego, Munich, and more. They are a studio + program manager at the Baltimore Jewelry Center, where they enjoy helping to build culture within the metals + jewelry field while supporting artists of all ages and backgrounds. Swift received a BFA in Interdisciplinary Object Design with a minor in Art History from Towson University, studying under artists like Leslie Boyd, Mallory Weston and Luci Jockel.

All the media + processes Swift uses in their practice intertwine; they work to inspire + propel each other. Swift captures their meditations and lived synchronicities through color, form, and interconnections. They aim to create their own understanding of contemporary alchemy through universal elements present in glass, metals, and fibers, as well as heat and movement.
