 Carrie Iverson is a printmaker and glass artist who often combines both media into multipart installations. She received her BA from Yale University and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work is in private and public collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA). Her current focus is adapting and translating her extensive knowledge of printmaking processes into glass through research and experimentation.
"When reading the book, I was struck by how many of the cities contain ghosts or mirrors or doubles. As I developed my work, I became particularly interested in that liminal area between the two, the threshold or border where those reflective cities meet. Consequently, I’ve tried to design my pieces to shift as you move around them, so that some portion of the piece is always hidden. In the collaborative piece, that shift occurs between seeing the pattern created by the edges of the glass versus the layering created by the imagery on the panels. In Reconstruction, the tension is created by the contrast between the imagery beneath the reflective surface and it’s reflection projected on the wall." - Carrie Iverson, Statement for Invisible Cities, 2010
