Katia Porter - “Imagining Worlds”
Katia Porter is a UK born artist, who currently resides in Connecticut. She maintains an active multidisciplinary practice in visual art and writing. Her work uses photography, painting, drawing and text to explore themes of injustice, family secrecy, misinformation, fable, folklore, metaphysics and the occult.
Porter’s newest body of work starts an important discussion about the state of the world and how she sees it through her lens. We invite you to join us and gather in this conversation about the state of the world.
“Art making gives me the means to witness the seemingly relentless barrage of hatred, injustice and cruelty in the world while still remaining open, staying attuned to the suffering of others. With this show I’m laying out the stages of my journey from shock, disbelief and anger to empathy. Imagining worlds through play and experiment and with hope that the future can and will be different.
