Art Brokerage: Artist Gay Outlaw was born in 1959 in Mobile, Alabama. Her education includes a B.A. from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA; La Varenne Ecole de Cuisine, in Paris, France and the International Center of Photography, General Studies Program, New York. Gay Outlaw has pursued her interest in light and the tricks optics play on our perception of volume through explorations of the properties of various materials. For example, a bundle of cardboard mailing tubes with their ends cut diagonally and their interiors painted yellow change radically in their illusion of volume as one walks around it. Working with modular units, Outlaw has achieved expanses of light-transforming images. Clear cast glass units, assembled in a grid pattern, catch the light, undulating in wave formations. Moving to familiar, ephemeral food materials, she has added the dimension of time: we can see the work change in the environment.
