Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
The artwork features an abstract, earthy composition of crumpled, mottled beige and ochre hues. The irregularly folded, textured surface creates a sense of depth and movement, suggesting a rugged, natural landscape. The artist employs a minimalist approach, relying solely on the inherent qualities of the material, likely paper or fabric, to evoke a sense of impermanence and the passage of time. The work reflects the artist's interest in exploring the interplay between form, texture, and the natural world, inviting the viewer to contemplate the beauty in the ephemeral and the overlooked. ...
Katie Grinnan’s work is focused on the body and its functions. She is fascinated by kinaesthesis, cognition and vision, specifically the ways in which these intricate and finely calibrated knowledge systems provide inherently subjective and unique perceptions of reality, emotion and self. Grinnan is interested in the occupation of different states of consciousness, for example meditation and dreaming, and how they different themselves from the state of wakefulness and full cognition. The artist’s sculptures are manifestations of the mind and its boundaries, rendered in materials like plastic, enamel and sand, often casts of her own body. In ‘Mirage’ (2011), Grinnan cast her body incrementally during her daily yoga routine, with a symphony of limbs made from sand extending outwards, delineating the passing of time and the body’s perpetual journey towards disintegration.
