Katrina is an Australian artist based in London.
Her research fixates on questioning the representation of photography, and it’s meaning as object and collective form. She is interested in consumption, and making connections between food and images; their digestion and representation, source and distribution, and entwining as daily process.
Often working with or without camera, her work manifests through her making process. Augmenting photographic surface, she hand prints in the darkroom with found or expired paper stocks, practices hand retouching and colouring, facilitates chemigrams, and works with sculpture or book forms. Found material is often her starting point, whether it’s objects, X-rays, 16mm film, food scraps, or discarded negatives from commercial labs in London.
After finishing an MFA at Goldsmiths in London, 2020, she has since then, co-founded the project space Equivalentbehaviour in North London with Storquestudios, and has exhibited Internationally. Katrina is a Project Manager of the London Alternative Photography Collective.
