Inspired by architectural themes, geometric patterns and processes, Katya works across various creative disciplines including drawing, typography and screen printing, demonstrating a bold, graphic and energetic experience. Space often defies the dimensions and materiality of the work, utilising the arrangement of lines and how they interact and affect one another through the experimentation of colour and composition, which are some of the fundamental aspects visualised through two and three - dimensional work.  As part of her research, Katya makes notes, sketches, photos and converts them into new ideas - her work engages with architectural and typographical structuring to break up and reevaluate the visual space within her works.  
The installations are composed of cardboard, ceramic tiles, fabric, paint, perspex, ratchet straps, tape and wood connecting aspects of daily life in urban environments and 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.
