Raylene Gorum

(American, born 1976)

Raylene Gorum is a California Bay Area artist who works mainly with intricately cut vinyl, acrylic, mirrors, and wood. She creates large-scale installations and flat works that blur spatial boundaries through the use of reflective and transparent materials. Her artworks often use buildings as a canvas to make the world a little more fantastical. She is inspired by "the unifying communicative powers of science, cartography, mathematical geometry, and the ethos of each project."

Gorum has a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and through the Ecole d'Architecture in Paris, France. She lives on a houseboat in Sausalito, California.
