Katharina Fitz was born in Austria, and currently 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 questions the hierarchy and value of objects in a mass-produced and highly globalised world and imports jigs, tools and moulds into the exhibition space to bridge the gap between the studio and the gallery atmosphere.
