katierayart's Profile

Bio

I am a visual artist, sculptor, creator whose inspirations lie largely in the natural world, bodies and peoples’ stories and struggles. My media of choice are metal and glass, though I enjoy experimenting with others. With metal, I work expressively and intensely, creating a multitude of potential experiences for the viewer. It is often intimate, pulling in to it at the same time that it pushes us away.

My installation work deals with issues of borders and migration , using the relationship between Mexico and the U.S. as a site for exploring these ideas. I considers art to be an arena in which people can come together, both in collaboration to make art and to inspire each other to think critically and communicate across boundaries.
