✨New mural in South Salt Lake for @themuralfest ! ✨ Hands reach, figures suspend, and little worlds are built. Spaces between distance and intimacy, tracing the ways we search for one another. This project was a blessing from start to finish, with many serendipitous moments, wonderful new friends, and a serious boost for my spirit 🌬️ Over the past eight months, I’ve been in a state of uncertainty about whether I would be able to keep creating murals while navigating my health. This wall in Utah became more than a mural to me, it became proof that there are still ways forward, even if they look different than before 🌹 What made this experience so meaningful wasn’t just the painting itself, but the care surrounding it. The mural fest team met me with genuine accessibility and support: extending my installation timeline, helping coordinate assistance, making space for rest days, and working with me so the process could be sustainable for my body <3 Huge thank you to entire @themuralfest team @allenarts.me @southsaltlake for helping carry this mural into existence. And to all the hands and hearts that carried me - I truly could not have done it without you. Special thanks to: @jscheuerman for the paint donation Saint Cody for the assistance and support @material_contemporary for the opportunity to exhibit my work Gale for welcoming my mural on his building @jackie_sumell for the visit and the love @jetpackjohnson_ for the amazing footage Go check out the other artists that participated in the fest - truly blown away by their talent! @birdcap @naomihaverland @lucasaokiart @perhaps.knot @mauriciopaints @tiny_shley @christin.m.a @curtis_hylton @betoconejo_ @soar.ne #muralfest #southsaltlakeutah #katiegreenart

To everyone who supported & participated in the artist talk and opening reception on Friday, April 24th; I am filled with gratitude and warmth for your presence.

If you are in South Lake, Utah and interested in seeing our exhibition, the closing date will be May 22nd, 2026. “Both artists are interested in what exists just beyond certainty. The emotional and spiritual residue that lives in the body. The private landscapes we move through when we are untethered, when we are becoming, when we are trying to find our way back to ourselves.” - @material_contemporary 💙 #liminalspaces

Liminal Spaces brings together the work of Katie Green and Wren Ross, whose practices move through these in-between states. Working between the visible and invisible, both artists engage the body as a site of rupture, endurance, and repair, attending to what is carried, what overwhelms, and what quietly transforms us. Both artists are interested in what exists just beyond certainty. The emotional and spiritual residue that lives in the body. The private landscapes we move through when we are untethered, when we are becoming, when we are trying to find our way back to ourselves. Ross’s work inhabits spaces of pressure and disorientation, using materials that evoke weight and residue—ash, salt, and relic-like forms—to map terrains of shock, vertigo, and quiet oppression. Attuned to the body as something that absorbs impact and continues, her work traces the body’s effort to orient within collapse, where bearing becomes both survival and navigation. Green’s work moves through states of shifting perception, centring on the emergence of character-driven forms that give shape to internal and sensory experience. Their figures emerge as companions to changing conditions of embodiment, holding multiplicity across grief, queerness, and disability. Attuned to the body as relational, Green approaches it as a space of transformation, where sensation and limitation open into new ways of perceiving and imagining. Here, care is not sentimental but practiced: a mode of survival and a way of moving towards what is felt. Together, their work approaches art as a portal into the unknowable, where intuition and sensation give shape to what is felt before it is understood, and where the unseen quietly shapes who we are. April 24th-May 22nd 2026 Salt Lake, Utah @material_contemporary @southsaltlakearts ✨

We’re officially in install mode and couldn’t be more excited! ✨ Liminal Spaces is coming together with stunning paintings, sculptures, ceramics and wearable art by Wren Ross and Katie Green—here’s a little sneak peek 👀 Join us this Friday for the opening reception + artist talk. It’s going to be a beautiful one—you won’t want to miss it.

Material Art Gallery is pleased to present Liminal Spaces, a two-person exhibition featuring Wren Ross and Katie Green, on view April 24 – May 22, 2026. Liminal Spaces brings together Green and Ross, whose practices move through in-between states. Working between the visible and invisible, both artists engage the body as a site of rupture, endurance, and repair—attending to what is carried, what overwhelms, and what quietly transforms us. “Katie Green and Wren Ross each work from deeply embodied and intuitive practices that speak to states we often struggle to articulate—grief, transformation, disorientation, and repair. In Liminal Spaces, their works come into dialogue through a shared sensitivity to the body as both witness and archive. At Material, we are interested in how their practices open thresholds rather than conclusions—spaces where meaning is felt before it is fully known, and where vulnerability becomes a form of quiet strength and attention. We are honored to present this exhibition of Green’s and Ross’s work and excited to share their work with our community as individual voices and in dialogue with one another.” – Colour Maisch Events Opening reception: Friday, April 24, 6–8 PM Artist talk: 5:30–6 PM Gallery Stroll: May 15, 6–8 PM Closing reception: May 22, 6–8 PM - By appointment This exhibition coincides with the 2026 Mural Fest (May 9), featuring Katie Green, who will create a mural across from the gallery.

Thank you @les.roka and @theutahreview for this wonderful and thoughtful review of “Grief Work”. Read the full review at !Link in bio. 📸 @xutahphotographyx “Grief Work could not be more timely than its current presence. With the grave and tremendously disheartening news that we encounter without relief every day, this show definitely has struck a nerve. Our public engagement and even personal interactions with grief often are awkward, discomfiting and formidable, generally to the point of even seeming to be a social taboo. But this collaboration also validates what Heller already had figured out years ago as a graduate student about trauma and grief: “It can be a throughway to access our potential as humans, to access the microcosms and macrocosms that we are constantly negotiating. It is a calling to separate from our habitual created realities, realities that often serve to trap us within societal molds and expectations.” The collective experience epitomized in Grief Work signifies a natural and mutual exchange of trust. More of this should be welcomed in the Utah arts scene.” - Les Roka for The Utah Review For more information, see the Material Art Gallery website. @colourmaisch @keoqui @icantfindmollyheller
