Meet Katie Waugh, who is featured in our latest group exhibition, π-ππππ!
When asked how this showβs theme resonates with her practice, she said this:
βThis work quite literally relies on the use of f-stop, or aperture, as a means of directing focus; this direction of the visual is intrinsically tied to the motivations in the work, which considers the intensely active visual condition of knowing space in highly regulated borderland areas.β
