Katie Taylor is a contemporary sculptural installation artist located in Oxford, UK. Holding a first-class degree in Textiles, she is presently pursuing a Ph.D. at Oxford Brookes University. Her artistic focus revolves around the exploration of our place in the world, the fragility of life, the inevitability of death, and the precariousness of our existence. Often, she draws upon history and historical research as foundational elements in her work. A persistent theme in her art is forensic anthropology and its role in determining identity, a topic integral to her current Ph.D. research.

Katie employs a diverse range of media to craft contemporary sculptural installations that delve into the intersection of materiality and memory. Her creations contemplate how we are commemorated posthumously through our possessions, delving into the conceptual and emotional depth of objects to explore the enduring aspects of remembrance beyond death.
