Kat Newman (she/her/hers) is a research-based artist who is intrigued with the visualisation processes used by sciences and simultaneously sceptical of ocularcentrism. She is searching for ways to trouble binary thinking, embrace slippages, get entangled with the more-than-human, sit with disorientation and push at the limits of inherited knowledge systems. Consequently, her work touches on the broader themes of time, space, narrative, and spectatorship.
Recording, copying, editing, montage, reading, talking, listening, writing, drawing, fictioning, animating, woodworking, printmaking, and organising are some of the world-making activities her work calls upon. Kat’s processes are multiple and respond to the deconstructive, feminist, queer and multispecies conceptual apparatus guiding her artistic enquiry. She makes sculptures and publications, takes photographs, produces video work and writes.
