Katy Stone's first museum exhibition is presently on view at the Boise Art Museum through Sunday, October 16th. The installation, titled FALL comprises three extremely tall works installed in the sculpture court of the museum.
Born in 1969, Stone received her BFA from Iowa State University in 1992 and her MFA from the University of Washington in 1994. Since her first career gallery exhibition with us in August of 2002, Stone’s star has been on the rise. She was given a one-person project space at the prestigious Art Chicago 2002 resulting in gallery representation in both Miami and New York. In 2003 her work was shown at the exclusive Basel Art Fair in Switzerland, and she was commissioned to produce a major outdoor sculpture for Swedish Medical Center. Stone’s site-specific installation at Suyama Space in 2004 was an unequivocal artistic and critical success.

DEGREES OF APPEARANCE, October 6 - January 9, 2003.
Suyama Space, Seattle
Through the accumulation of multi-layered, configured and painted Mylar sheets, Seattle artist Katy Stone combines a delicate, ephemeral presence of light, shadow, and air with the gallery's contrasting surfaces of decay and renewal. The installation creates an environment filled with both color and transitory presence. The extending components of the sited piece are evocative of organic movement, and suggest many forms such as water, clouds, roots, falling petals, sprouting shoots. The continuum of appearance and disappearance between one essence fading into another, one form into another, one season into another is the basis for this artist's work.
Born in 1969, Stone received her BFA from Iowa State University in 1992 and her MFA from the University of Washington in 1994. She has had recent one-person exhibitions at the Greg Kucera Gallery, Chicago Art Fair, Commencement Art Gallery in Tacoma, the King County Arts Commission Gallery in Seattle, and the Art Museum of Missoula in Montana. She was selected to take part in Project 18 at the Sand Point Arts & Cultural Exchange and will be creating a site specific installation at Bellevue Art Museum in January 2004.
Funding for the exhibition was provided by SuyamaPetersonDeguchi Architects. The exhibition was organized by curator Beth Sellars for Suyama Space in partnership with Space.City
