Kathryn is a disabled artist whose primary medium is paper collage. She founded The Social Glue of Sydney, a leaderless model of communal making dedicated to the collage artform. The Social Glue meets 4 times a month in Alexandria and is open to all.
Most recently, Kathryn made a sequence of environmentally responsive actions called Tidal Boundaries as part of a residency at Woollahra Gallery, working as part of The Little Umbrella Collective. She is about to embark on a 2025 Bundanon residency, investigating the intersections between personal and ecological grief through the presence of the Powerful Owl.
