About
The Sculpture Center will feature sculptural installation artist Kim Eggleston-Kraus, with a solo exhibition entitled Closet Space. The free, public reception with the artist is on Friday, June 11, from 5 pm to 9 pm. Eggleston-Kraus will give a gallery talk at 6 pm during the reception.

Kim Eggleston-Kraus, using concepts of architectural form, will construct a site-specific installation at The Sculpture Center composed of interactive closets. With common building materials and various doors, she will compose a collection of closet spaces, each containing items meant to be discovered by the viewer, ranging from childhood games to adult business clothes. Through the arrangement of these closet spaces, she invites viewers to become participants, providing the opportunity to discover a maze of hiding spaces.

Eggleston-Kraus, originally from Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, has been a resident of Akron, Ohio, for fourteen years. She teaches sculpture, ceramics, and art survey at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. She holds an MFA in Studio Art (Sculpture) from Kent State University, and a BFA in Studio Art (Sculpture) from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Pennsylvania.

Eggleston-Kraus has shown her work regionally throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania, and in Chicago, Illinois. She was recipient of an Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowship in 1999, and has a commissioned work installed at Advanced Elastomer Systems World Headquarters in Akron, Ohio.
