About Katie Cooper

"I create paintings, drawings, and wall installations that explore an unseen reality behind the physical one. Using watercolor and ink on paper I make from shredded trash, I paint abstraction, physics illustrations, images of animals, and various other signs and symbols in small works. These are both self-contained pieces and elements of large wall installations made up of dozens, or even hundreds of such papers, some painted, some not, pinned to panels on a wall. My acrylic and oil paintings on canvas are more conventional, influenced by physical journeys I’ve made."
