Inspired by architecture and geometric forms, Katya works across various creative disciplines including installation, painting, textiles 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, some of the fundamental aspects visualised through her practice. As part of her research, Katya makes notes, sketches, photos and converts into new ideas - the work reflects the effective use of minimal sentiment and engages with architectural and typographical structuring to break up and re-evaluate the visual space within the works.
The installations are composed of materials including canvas, ceramic tiles, glass, tape, textiles and wood, connecting aspects of discarded materials 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 and the functional.
