Kate Steciw uses sculpture, photography, video and image manipulation in her work.
She’s a contemporary artists who currently resides in Brooklyn. She got her undergraduate degree in Sociology and Political Science at Smith College, and then she attended the School of The Art Institute of Chicago where she earned her Masters Degree in Fine Arts Photography.
Her work explores the ideas and concepts behind understanding physical objects as they relate to their digital counterpart (or representations) online, as well as their distribution.
She’s interested in the collision between representation (both computer generated and physically created) and materialization. She finds stock image and manipulates them into collaged objects.
She works (her work can be classified under) the post internet movement because of the fact that she takes commercial images and removes them from that context by turning them into art objects.
This idea is not necessarily the way I’m moving, but her idea and the way that she still makes the images relevant even when abstracting them with materials (sculpturally) is really very interesting. and its something that i think i might be trying to do.
Steciw takes her photographs from 2D space and puts them into 3D and even 4D spaces (implies spaces) because her collages are “interrogating the relationship between reality and virtual representation, splicing together objects that mirror how the internet is consumed.”
Reminds me a lot of your recent work in a good way. I think that this would be a very interesting direction to go in. I think that the size in Steciw's pieces contribute majorly to the interaction with the audience.
