Katie Watchorn

Katie Watchorn lives between Amsterdam and Ireland. She holds a BA from The National College of Art and Design, and recently completed a two year residency at De Ateliers, Amsterdam.

Katie’s practice expands from the formal foundations of sculpture to explore the shifting relations between rural and urban life, labour, and technology. Working with industrial and agricultural materials, she examines how the body—both human and animal—exists within systems of production, regulation, and care. Her work is grounded in the material and sensory textures of her rural upbringing while attentive to the infrastructural logics of contemporary urban living.
