Kayla Rumpp's Betula

After taking a break due to Coronavirus, Channel To Channel is back with Knoxville, TN based artist, Kayla Rumpp.

Kayla Rumpp creates work inspired by the relationship between painting and sculpture with a childlike approach to ingenuity and invention. Materials, color, texture, form, and light all play key parts in the sensory experience created for the viewer. Conventional materials, such as wooden popsicle sticks, are reimagined in their use to create provoking, interactive works.

Rumpp says about her work, “My hope is to create an immersive work that confronts the viewer to experience the piece with an altered perception that is slowly formed and evolves in time with the piece.”

Kayla Rumpp is an artist and educator based in Knoxville, TN. She earned her BFA from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and graduated with her MS in Art Education in 2017.

Betula is open through July 25. The gallery will be open Tuesday-Saturday 12-6pm beginning in July.

Admittance is limited per Nashville guidelines and social distancing. You must have a ticket to attend this opening, and the time slots are for an hour each. Channel to Channel asks that you arrive during your selected time slot, and exit the gallery by the end of your hour.
