Katie Moir


Her surrounding family has mostly influenced Katie’s art the most. The main focus in her work is the process of interrupting a family photo and converting it into a collage: the progression of transforming photography into painting. The Cubism movement and the key goal of seeing more perspective within one viewpoint, and breaking the traditional way of classical way of seeing a realistic image helped Katie to produce her work. Katie paints mostly from family photos, as they are subjects that she knows best and in certain aspects makes her the person she is. By producing collage and cutting up the image gives the viewer a feeling of being misplaced and hiding true image from the viewer.
