About

Katee Boyle, B: Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania explores a wide range of media including drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, words, sound, and installation to create the artifacts and narratives attributed to her work. A conceptually-driven expressionist, her stories stem from personal tributes to the human experience honoring the power of an emotive response. Her work teaches the viewer the importance of learning to look.

Boyle's work responds to the universal question: what does it mean to feel human, unapologetically from a feminine perspective. The manifestation of Her documents offers a representation of memory energized by a sense of momentum. Her work shares a strong temporal dimension - a place where the past, present, and future are always meeting, often colliding or in conflict. Boyle's work resonates with a tug of memoir, the desire to move forward but always with a strong gravitational pull of the past. Speaking in a viscerally raw language on invisibility, exclusion, and social conditioning, Boyle presents the viewer with a deconstructed, perspective on emotional life. 

Boyle's Artifacts reflect on cultural and gender-nuanced elements of life: birth, death, mother, family, discord, trust, and healing. Her work explores the mapping of connections and growth between that which is tangible and that which is most often unmentionable and fleeting. Her narratives embody the external social messages that speak to personal and private but simultaneously mingle and resonate with her audience as emotionally responsive, universal experiences.

Boyle's work is in private collections internationally. She has exhibited at SOFA Chicago, is a Winterthur Museum Maker-Creator Fellow, and a United States Artist Nominee.
