About the Artist

Emiland Kray, is a visual artist working primarily with book arts and game design to investigate the complexities and fallacies of memories and dreams by manipulating our attachment to nostalgic and familiar forms. He began his artistic career by living and working in Las Vegas, Nevada and received his BFA ('20) from the University of Nevada, Reno and his MFA ('23) from the University of Arizona. He has exhibited in solo shows across the American Southwest and has worked as a curator to foster relationships between museums as cultural sites and artists in the United Kingdom. Kray continues to make art with a focus on community involvement and volunteer work and has established his own community press, Troctopus Press. Troctopus Press functions with the mission to support collaborative and community building endeavors in the book-making field and provides professional opportunities to artists, poets, creative writers, and art historians. With the creation of artist books it reflects a communal and mutual desire for creative connection and understanding.
