Finding your voice through Cyanotype: An Exploration of Form

Artist Biography

Alyson Shotz is known for large-scale sculptures that subvert their own physicality in order to explore the phenomenological experience of space, gravity, light, and matter. She currently has a solo project, Temporal Shift, at Grace Farms Foundation in Connecticut, and is also included in the exhibition “Line of Wit” at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
 
Alyson was recently named the Anne Stark Locher and Kurt Locher Visual Arts Fellow at MacDowell. During her 2022 residency at MacDowell she made large scale Cyanotypes capturing winter light and space, that led directly to her 2023 recent exhibitions at Derek Keller Gallery in New York and Andersson/Sandstrom gallery in Stockholm in Fall of 2022. 

She has exhibited widely and has been included in exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, and Storm King Art Center. She has had solo exhibitions nationally and internationally and her work is included in public collections, such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Guggenheim Bilbao, The Hirshhorn Museum, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and The Hunter Museum of American Art.
