Channing Gray

The work I make is about a state of internal between where it’s referenced to the external experience. To express this concept, I use cosmic and atmospheric forms to create a boundless landscape that is vast and occupied by individuals. My focus is drawing but I also use other forms of material to expand and curate spaces for subjects to be enmeshed within the psychological plain. I find the intent of my practice to be this sense of longing, to find connections with others through a semblance of memory. In my youth, I experienced living in a split home where I felt that I was two separate existences so I use this sense duality to give viewers a look into the state of a vacillating mind. For such lives are vastly different and yet specific experiences are what could connect individuals together.
