Gay Outlaw’s work in photography and sculpture
explores form through structure, pattern and
translation. Her process often begins with a form
from one of her photographs. She distills the
shape or pattern and re-works it in a variety of
materials -- rubber, cardboard, vinyl, wood, glass.

Each re-thinking leads to another. Every shift in
scale, material or dimension is made with such
sensitivity and care that no matter how extreme
or unexpected, it seems logical, even inevitable.
