Crystal Gregory is a multi media artist creating works that focus on urban landscape, home, and handwork. Her materials are domestic, architectural, and organic. The art operates as both sculpture and site specific installation. Lace and cloth and their collective relationships to psychogeographies, domesticity, privacy and personal space are the tools she uses to communicate within her work. Her installations and component sculptures are hybridized spaces, fragile and distressed. Her practice is divided into community outreach projects, studio practice and public art.
Currently living and working in New York her work has been written about in ArtSlant and Kipton Art. PS 122 Gallery hosted Crystal for in a six week performative installation, On the Fence. Other shows include Art in Odd Places, Fair Folk & a Goat, as well as Giacobetti Paul Gallery Dumbo. She is currently working with an architectural firm (SL Designs) on permanent installations and is a recent recipient of a public art grant from the Department of Transit NYC. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Oregon with a focus in Fiber Arts.
