Katrina Vivian

b.1964 South Australia

Katrina's work has covered mixed media including moving image, photography, sculpture, painting and installation. Past work utilizing hair, latex, tissue, and a staining process combined with light and photography.

Her ideas and work are created through inspiration from a number of areas in life: dreams, beliefs, vision, a desire to rework and re-form, investigating the depiction of surface; physical surface, spiritual surface together with the elusiveness of those surfaces within the realm of reality, time and space.

Katrina is attempting to portray the mental and physical complexities of the human spirit, and the splintered, dissection and distortion of visual perception. The presence of death and experiences of loss: loss within family, communities and cultures as a whole through the use of banal everyday objects.
