Katherine Pogson

Artist Katherine Pogson’s work considers human relationships with nature. Her practice uses Lepidoptery - the study of butterflies and moths - as an entry point for exploring an ‘other-than-human’ view of the world. 

In the Anthropocene age, and with growing awareness of the climate emergency, this inevitably encounters stories of loss, damage and extinction. However, in taking a moth’s-eye view, this work focuses instead on the requirements for flourishing life - nourishment, procreation and the space to move freely. 

Katherine is currently a doctoral research candidate and associate lecturer at University of the Arts, London. In her previous life, Katherine was a designer-maker based at Cockpit Arts, Holborn, and Livingstone Studios, Hampstead.
