Katie Paterson is a Fife-based visual artist from Glasgow, having previously lived and practiced in Berlin. Paterson is a graduate and Honorary Fellow of the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh College of Art and also studied at the Slade School of Fine Art.
Her recent projects consider our place on Earth in the context of geological time and change, making sophisticated use of technologies combined with specialist expertise. Paterson’s work is cross medium and multi-disciplinary. Some of her most recent works include Future Library, Fossil Necklace, Timepieces (Solar System) and a series of Camp del Cielo meteorites in which ancient meteorites have been cast, melted and re-cast in their original form.
In January 2014, Paterson was announced as the recipient of the 2014 South Bank Sky Arts Award for Visual Art, and in 2019 Turner Contemporary hosted a major retrospective of all Paterson’s artwork.
