Join us at SCRIPT as we interview our first artist Katherine Spinella. Her work often finds the beauty of objects discarded. Both physical and digital, we will discuss the methods she utilizes in her art practice when mining for content. We will also discuss how artist's practices have shifted with the endless potential of search sources such as Google.
Katherine Spinella is an artist living and working in Portland, Oregon. Her studio practice explores the fallacy of human dominance and mastery over the natural world, while transporting the refuse of commerce into fractures, elevated, and philosophically personified artifacts. As a habitual collector of discarded physical and digital commodities, she uses printmaking, sculpture, and digital images as a means of archiving and deconstructing commonplace objects and materials in search of their embedded ideological meaning.
