SUMMARY:Catching My Breath CAMERON GRAY
DESCRIPTION:Community Gallery — View from the Sidewalk \n \nShow Statement\n \nDo we have time to slow down? And I don’t mean that Only in the sense of physically\, but mentality. Though we are living in a pandemic and things are to supposed to me moving much slower\, I feel that is far from the truth. From the multiple Deaths to trials\, when have we had time to be at Peace! \n \nCatching my Breath is the visual representation of me finding (or trying to find) that peaceful state through the trauma and chaos. We live in a society where it is not hard to be wrapped up in the sensationalism of the media with Black death being the tagline. That you can get lost in it all. This installation is all about taking and making space/room to breathe.\n \nThe gallery space will not be entered after install to allow the Black Spirit to be able to flow and breathe uninterrupted! I truly believe that is what Every Black person deserves and needs! \n \n \nBio\n \nCameron Gray was born in Birmingham\, Alabama in 1991. It was growing up in Birmingham when he started to see the effects of racism. He focused on feelings stemming from these effects when he entered his first art class at Auburn University. He graduated from Auburn University in December of 2013 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Printmaking. In 2014\, he moved to St. Louis\, Missouri to work as a press assistant with a printmaker. In 2020\, he graduated from Iowa State University with a Master of Fine Arts.\n \nGray has shown his artwork in solo and collaborative shows\, nationally and internationally\, including in Cortona\, Italy\, Oklahoma\, Alabama\, Texas\, Iowa\, North Carolina\, California\, and New York. In 2020\, he founded a community-based initiative called The Buxton Initiative where he conceives community-based projects that celebrate Blackness in art\, literature\, music\, and film. His first major project is the Black’d Out Book Library where he is providing space where only Black voices are being heard and felt.
