Dallas-born artist whose practice is interested in the role that power plays in historical and contemporary forms of myth-making and narratives and how this intrinsic power dynamic affects how we conceive of ourselves, others, and the world around us. Gray works in a variety of mediums, incorporating video, performance, collage, installation, sculpture, conceptual research and more. The process of collaging runs through his practice in many forms – reconfiguring and transforming iconography and visual codes that interrogate dominant frameworks and belief systems and propose alternatives. He is also continuously attentive to the fraught status of American and UK self-mythology and landscape, and recent work has focused on surveillance, strategy, and secrecy, particularly as these intersect with questions of gender, sexuality, and the social.
