With great reverence for the natural world,
Kratz creates cast-resin pieces of fragile beauty locked in u- id, translucent resin. The artist embeds her found objects, sometimes spliced or broken apart and arranged in precise patterns, in luminous, cast-resin wall panels and vessels. Kratz sands and grinds the surface of her panels until the interi-
or structure of her gathered
materials gradually emerges
as abstract lines, circles, and
spirals that reveal a kinship
to the vastness of the ocean
or night sky. Often cyclical in
composition, her haunting-
ly beautiful sculptural and
two-dimensional resin works
re ect themes of beauty,
memory, and longing.
