Primarily regarded as a conceptual sculptor with a growing national reputation, Gay Outlaw works as an investigator of physicality, perception, memory, and materials. Her work revolves around combining inherent contradictions: Sculptures that seem to be constructed of voids; Photographs of false surfaces transformed into solid objects; Images of holes, reversed, and cast in bronze and glass.

For her show at CCAS, Outlaw will present a variety of studio works that continue and document these investigations, and will include many pieces shown for the first time. Mirroring her studio environment, the exhibition will include sculptures in a variety of media, including blown glass, cast bronze, cast and constructed paper, felt, and wood. Although disparate in materials, the works are alive with visual connections. The shape of a cast shadow in one piece is transformed into a three-dimensional structure in another, and a wave cast in paper is mirrored in a small bronze, which in turn is perforated by a grid of holes echoing several other pieces. Each piece addresses the flow of the creative process, and the visual associations and internal dialogues reveal that this process of constant development is the actual subject of her work.
