Kelly Storrs’s work is inspired by place. Lowland Studio is in a floodplain — everything comes to rest there: sycamore seed, birch bark, deer bones, coyote teeth, fossils, styrofoam balls–not to mention the abundant growth and slow decay of a Catskill season. In the fall of 2022, Kelly raised more than $1,000 for UIDN with an online raffle.
