Maker's Quote
Combining clay with a range of processes including animation, illustration and installation, I create work that aims to arouse curiosity. Whether through sharing a story or conjuring a collective memory, my practice highlights the forgotten sources of joy and amusement that surround us.

The Process
Katie’s work often begins with a visit to a specific place, followed by a period of research. After she has sketched out her design, focusing on the plants and species local to the area, she models all the clay flowers, leaves and grasses by hand. She then arranges them into compositions, combining them with other materials including wood, glass, concrete and stone.
