About the Artist

Katie Paterson, born in 1981 in Glasgow, Scotland, is a highly innovative conceptual artist celebrated for her ambitious projects that explore profound questions about the universe, time, and humanity's place within it. Her art often involves deep scientific research and collaboration, translating immense and intangible natural phenomena into tangible, often minimalist, artworks. Whether mapping the trajectory of a piece of moon rock, transmitting melting glacier ice as sound, or creating a library of future books, Paterson's work encourages a contemplation of scale, distance, and the ephemeral. Her practice brilliantly bridges art and science, offering poetic insights into the cosmos and the very fabric of existence.
