Katharina Forster

Katharina Forster
works as an interdisciplinary artist in Werder (Havel).
Her works include sculpture, objects, paintings and video.
The topics of her work evolve around the complex themes of appreciation and mindfulness: those between human as well as between human and nature.
By changing her points of view, she tends to surprise the viewer with unique, inspiring, sometimes provocative perspectives.
Her work method is influenced by her love for solid artisanal techniques, which she combines with unusual but mundane materials. Thus she extracts them from her usual context and places them in surprising new constellations.
