Artist Statement
Katie Soo’s art practice explores ephemeral connections with materials, highlighting the fragility and strength of human experiences. Through her process, she examines the relationships between inner landscapes and external environments, using labor and materiality to activate space through objects and installations.
In her ceramic vessels, Soo employs a stamping and inlaying technique with contrasting clays, while her sculptures consist of abstract metal forms suspended with ceramic fragments. Together, these elements create a dynamic interplay between interiority and exposure, inviting reflection on the dualities of concealment and revelation, as well as the layers of personal and collective experiences that can shape perception.
