Q&A
Artist Statement
In 2015, she set up her eponymous printed homewares label in London and in 2019 Katie relocated to Edinburgh. During the forced hiatus of COVID-19 lockdowns and lack of print studio access, Katie introduced stitching and quilting to her practice: turning her screen-printed textiles into quilts and interior objects.
What craft do you work with?
Katie takes the two-dimensional work of printmaking and makes it sculptural; adding the depth, movement and tactility of quiltmaking.
What inspires you to work with this craft?
How would you best describe your workspace and what tools could you not do without?
In January 2021 Katie set up a printed textiles studio where she dyes; paints and screen prints all of her work by hand.
