Cathy Della Lucia is a Boston based artist working predominantly in sculpture, ceramics and installation. She received a BA in studio art at Xavier University and MFA in sculpture from Boston University. Her work utilizes both found and fabricated form and considers the role of objects, the body, and raw material as systems and vessels that carry, conceal, conduct, and connect. She uses modularity as a medium to explore ideas of labor and leisure, (un)belonging, and Asian American identity. Her practice is deeply focused on touch and material sensibility as a method of connecting with Korean traditions of craft and collaboration through the reuse of material and found object excess sourced from local makers and fixers.
She is currently working towards a solo exhibition at Overlap Gallery (Newport, RI) in June 2024. She has exhibited work nationally and internationally in Denmark and Korea including at University of Dayton’s Radial Gallery (Dayton, OH), Abigail Ogilvy Gallery (Boston, Massachusetts), Kniznick Gallery (Brandeis University), Piano Craft Gallery (Boston, MA), Able Baker Gallery (Portland, Maine), Ara Art Center (Seoul, Korea), Sang Myung Gallery (Seoul, Korea), Miseul Segye Gallery (Seoul Korea), Art Copenhagen (Copenhagen, Denmark). She has completed residencies at Vermont Studio Center and The Blue House (Dayton, OH).
