Katya constructs architecturally inspired drawings and works across a range of creative disciplines to create a bold, graphic and energetic experience. Space often defies the dimensions and texture of the piece, reflecting the palette utilising the arrangement of lines. As part of her research, Katya makes notes, sketches, photos and converts them into new ideas - Inspiration include the environment, cities and elements of architecture. Her installations are composed of wood, paint, tape, paper and found materials connecting aspects of daily life in urban environments and minimalistic two and three-dimensional work.
The continuous lines allow for the transformation of the dynamics into an energetic space. Katya seeks to interrogate and inquire about space and relationships within it, the aesthetic as well as the functional.
