Metamorphosis is ‘an imprint of the positive and negative surface of a ceramic mould, fed through a series of different mould making processes and materials until reaching its current state. The mould has been abstracted from its initial purpose and turned into an object in its own right; a way of questioning the value of objects within the artistic process and how objects can exist in a constant flow of change.’

Katharina Fitz’s work comprises sculpture and installation, often in reference to architecture and industrial processes. Through the use of different techniques, objects are constantly flipped, copied, mirrored and mutated, as if pushed through a metamorphosis. She works with texture, weight and the unadulterated hues of materials such as ceramic, plaster, latex, wood and steel. 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.

Katharina Fitz is an Austrian artist currently based in Nottingham, where she completed her MA Fine Art in 2019; she studied Photography & Film at the Sant Ignasi Institute of Barcelona (2008), and was based in Berlin from 08-15. She has been selected for the Gilbert Bayes Sculpture Award 2020 organised by the Royal Society of Sculptors, was part of Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2019 and received the One Thoresby Street Production Award and Residency in the same year.

Katharina Fitz was selected by Open Call.
