Artist bio Bree Gomez recently received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2010) with an emphasis in sculpture and design. As an artist, she strives to transform spaces into places by creating functional artwork that is accessible, interactive, therapeutic and harmonious within its environment. She works with a variety of sustainable materials including glass (cast and blown), metal, ceramic, wood, light, water and sound. After taking a course last spring with Jaume Plensa (Crown Fountain, Millennium Park), which culminated in a public exhibition at the Richard Gray Gallery, she has been utilizing light and sound to activate public spaces. This past September, her interactive sculpture, Accord was exhibited at the Grand Rapids Art Museum and ranked among the top 25 out of 1,713 artists for ArtPrize 2010. Most recently, her glass installation, Assimilation, was exhibited at Hotel Burnham for Chicago’s Art Loop Open.

Description of work: *The incorrect voting number was listed on my card, I'd appreciate if you would please check your votes if you texted the wrong number! My voting number is: 43551 Thank you! Cascade is a large site-specific interactive sculpture comprised of thousands of unwanted CD's, motion-responsive sound and light. Upon investigation, a fusion of sound, light and refracting color will create a visually symphonic experience! Cascade was created specifically for ArtPrize 2011! It is my goal that Cascade will provide an engaging experience to those who encounter it while also illuminating the massive amount of cultural waste, in this case, obsolete CDs that would otherwise be thrown away. I encourage everyone to be a part of the art by contributing their unwanted CD's throughout the duration of ArtPrize! A blue CD collection bin is currently located inside Devos Place Convention Center! Website: www.breegomez.com
