Katherine Gray’s practice draws on the rich historical traditions of glassblowing as well as her explorations of the dichotomy that glass embodies, ranging from mundane to the sublime. She often comments on aspects of glass, which make it physically invisible and psychologically absent. The LA Times has praised her works for “emphasizing the broad potential of the medium while also showcasing Gray’s very considerable skills,” and Artforum magazine described her major installation Forest Glass as a “neat conceptual maneuver.”Gray studied at Ontario College of Art and received her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her works are included in the permanent collections of the Corning Museum of Glass, Museum of American Glass, and the Tacoma Museum of Glass. Gray is an associate professor at California State University San Bernardino. Learn more about her at katherine-gray.com.—Heller Gallery, New York
