Granite by Katie Stackhouse - Lost Rocks (39)

I imagine the weight of that rocky Pnyx Hill where western democracy was founded. Katie Stackhouse is an Australian artist living and working in Naarm/Melbourne. Examining notions of time within landscape, contemporary human interactions with natural environments and emerging experiential technologies, her sculptural, spatial and performance-based practice is informed by scientific and philosophical views of ecology. After completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Stackhouse studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Art Academy in the Netherlands. Stackhouse is currently completing a Master of Contemporary Art at the Victorian College of the Arts and has been a resident at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in the USA, the Amsterdams Grafisch Atelier in the Netherlands and Durrmu Arts Centre in Peppimenarti, Australia. Her work is included in private collections throughout Australia, Europe, Japan and the USA.
