Kathy Butterly has been making artworks using the vessel form since 1986, when she was an undergraduate student at the Moore College of Art. Since then, her vessels have been shown in more than thirty solo exhibitions—most recently High Vibration at James Cohan Gallery, and currently at the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery in Saratoga Springs. On the occasion of these exhibitions, Butterly sat down for a conversation with the artist EJ Hauser. Here they discuss the trajectory of Butterly’s practice, finding beauty in reality and destruction, and the artist’s newfound mantra in art and life: “see me now.”
