Katie Stubblefield

"Inspired by super-sized weather systems, Katie Stubblefield’s imagery is informed by forensic photography and first-hand accounts of nature in constant flux. Her works serve as a record of the visual aftermath of weather, discarded trees, knotted rebar, chunked concrete, mangled clothes, deconstructed architecture and disused vehicle parts, interwoven, tangled and refigured in space. These clouds of debris can take on an almost ominous tone. The artist’s passion for the forces of nature cut into the realities she invokes making her creations more a reckoning of awe than a reckoning of destruction."
