Lara Knutson
Lara Knutson (born 1974) is an American artist and industrial designer based in New York City.
A native of Beach Haven, New Jersey,[1] Knutson was fascinated as a child by the play of light on seashells along the beachfront in her hometown, as well as the texture they would create when crushed; she credits this as an influence in her work.[2] She attended Pratt Institute, receiving her bachelor's degree in architecture and her master's degree in industrial design.[3] She uses reflective glass fabric in her work, stemming from experiments she made while working on her master's thesis in 2011.[4] Knutson was among the artists featured in the exhibit "40 Under 40: Craft Futures" at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Museum of American Art,[5] and one of her pieces was subsequently accessioned by the museum.[6] Her work is also included in the collection of the Corning Museum of Glass, and has been sold by the Museum of Modern Art in its gift shop.[2]
