I’ve admired Katrin’s
beautifully disarming work for many years now, since coming across her
earlier work back in 2010 when I was starting my photography studies.
She has a brilliant and uncompromising vision and is someone I could
happily talk to for hours, discussing not just art and photography, but
all issues we face socially, politically and otherwise. Katrin’s visual
language is adorned with subtlety and poetry. Both transient and
contrived, with a meticulous attention to colour, texture and tone
throughout her colour, and black and white works.
Above
all, the way Katrin can say so much about the living, breathing world
around us through her extensive and varying bodies of work is something I
strive for in my own work. It was a pleasure to catch up right before
both of us were setting off on new trips abroad following her most
recent exhibition of work as part of Melbourne Now’s Slippery Pictures showcase at the National Gallery of Victoria.
