CSUSB professor’s art exhibition on display in Ohio art museumThe Blade (Toledo, Ohio)March 27, 2019 The art exhibition “Katherine Gray: (Being) in a Hotshop” by Katherine Gray, Cal State San Bernardino professor of art, is installed in the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio through May 12. The exhibition shares the sensory qualities Gray has experienced over the years as a glassblowing artist. “There are a few smells that are pretty particular to working in glass in the hot shop. I think I felt a little nostalgic thinking, oh man, I’m going to miss this smell someday and thought it would be nice to preserve that, and it blossomed from there,” she said. “I started looking at other senses that might be activated in a hot shop — that feeling of warmth from all of the equipment, some of the sounds you hear. “There are obviously glass objects in the exhibition but I didn’t want them to be in the foreground, I wanted engaging the other senses to be a big part of the experience.” Read the complete article a “Experience glassblowing magic through all of the senses.”
