Kim Grall

Kim Grall, based in Westminster, Vermont, creates mixed media sculpture with foraged and harvested materials. Grall’s current work uses gourds as both a sculptural object and a substrate. Most recently the artist is exploring encaustic with mixed media on wall hanging wood panels. The gourds Grall uses are grown by the artist from saved heirloom seed, seen through their entire life cycle intended to become art. The artist uses techniques such as pyrography, painting, and collage with additional materials including vines, leaves, seed pods, pigments and papers. Through this intimacy with her materials, Grall’s work presents the concepts of utilitarian objects, sacred objects, mixed media sculpture, and fine art.
