Myra Mimlitsch-Gray is deeply interested in the polemics and possibilities of traditional craft in contemporary practice. She will discuss her recent residency at Kohler Co. and the two bodies of work she created there: one more domestic and utilitarian, the other more abstract and sculptural. The various modes of production available at the foundry presented new challenges and opportunities, opening up her studio practice, inspiring her to take a deep look at the divergent paths of tradition and innovation, and reaffirming her commitment to metalsmithing.
Mimlitsch-Gray is chair of the art department and professor of metal at the State University of New York at New Paltz. She has been awarded fellowships by the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York Foundation for the Arts.
