About the Artist
Joshua Ice is an artist that works with ideas related to science and philosophy through sculpture, kinetic, and light-based installation art. With a background in lighting design and technology for the stage, the work presents in many forms. Ice’s studio operates as a fabrication shop: a quasi-laboratory for developing new ideas. Without limiting himself to one medium or even sensory experience, the tools, materials, and skills collected over time, instigate endless possibilities and explorations. Working with traditional and non-traditional gallery spaces such as SPACE, Carlow University Gallery, and Mattress Factory Museum, among others, has offered opportunities to experiment with many different formats and methods. Joshua graduated from Point Park University with a BFA in Lighting Design and Entertainment Technology as well as worked for 5 years as the Exhibitions Manager at Mattress Factory and uses his training to create fully immersive works.
