Artist Statement/ Biography

Through her art, Katherine Patiño Miranda highlights the invisible state of interdependence among diverse organisms on our planet. Her works, which she calls practices, are time meditations always in the process of becoming dealing with cycles of life and decay and the interdependent relationship between the human and non-human. She transforms food waste and cardboard into natural pigments, paintings, performances and installations. In her life, the lines between kitchen, garden, and creative space blur on a daily basis becoming an ever-evolving field of investigation. She is interested in redefining notions like waste and trash. Her current artistic exploration begins by cooking, eating, recycling, composting, planting, harvesting and visiting the forest.
