Kate Fauvell is a visual artist and native New Yorker. She is inspired by people and systems and she constantly photographs these as a way to understand and document the world around her. Kate uses these images to create photo-based collage paintings that explore memory, impermanence, and the inner and visceral experiences that connect people. The fragmentation of torn photos depict how Kate sees our world systems — messy and broken. She uses these images of broken structures to “rebuild” her city, neighborhood by neighborhood, into a place that seeks systemic justice and redefines beauty.
