kat's blog

hi! I’m kat, i make sound, performance and visual art in london (and further afield). i run the london community laptop orchestra and generally make art focused on how, as artists, we both heal and hurt ourselves, with a particular focus on the ways in which we can create engaging and raw work while holding ourselves accountable for the perpetuation of self-damaging behaviours through our art.
