Katharina Fitz is born in Austria, and lives and works in Nottingham, UK

Her work comprises of sculpture and installation often in reference to architecture and industrial process. The physical engagement of the body is notably present in Fitz's practice where traces of her creative method draw the viewer into an exploration of the work. She often uses traditional processes such as mouldmaking, casting and plaster turning to create and activate sculptural form. Fitz challenges the hierarchy and value of objects and imports jigs, tools and moulds into the gallery space to bridge the gap between the studio and the gallery atmosphere.

Through the use of different techniques, objects are constantly flipped, copied, mirrored, turned and mutated as if pushed through a metamorphosis. The work is consantly evolving from one stage or material into another and exists in a consant flow of change. She works with texture, weight and the unadulterated hues of materials such as ceramic, plaster, latex, wood and steel.

In installation, her sculptures are in conversation with the space. Sometimes the work functions as a prosthesis, other times objects of space are decontextualised. Fitz's work challenges the vision and understanding of our environment, offering a new reading of how it could be animated, changed, or extended into something else.

Her photographic work looks at issues surrounding the changes, phenomenon and structures that we find within the city and how they affect our coexistance within urban space.
