ABOUT
Katy Williamson
Artist Bio –
Katy Williamson is an award-winning collage artist. Born in 1982, she’s originally from New Zealand, now based in the UK.
She works primarily in analogue collage, but also experiments with digital and animated pieces.
Her main subject is the human face, delving into the exploration and distortion of features. Repetition, fragments of time and a sense of movement are recurring themes in her work.
She has exhibited in London, New York and New Zealand.
​
Artist Statement –
Cutting images apart and then putting them back together is a puzzle of chaos and distortion. It allows different times and perspectives to come together to form a new narrative. It also highlights the complexities of the human experience and the many layers that shape us as people.
