Artist: Katrina J. Murray

Katrina J. Murray’s ceramic sculptures and paintings are extensions of her collage works on paper. She often assembles biomorphic forms to create larger installations. “In my art practice, I enjoy the play of shifting from paint to paper to clay,” she says. “Working with similar color, pattern and form in all three media—discovering endless combinations of material and meaning.” With this site-specific collage, Murray kept this approach in mind, as the piece first started out on paper before eventually evolving into a large-scale public work.
