Kate Boyer (b. Seattle, WA, 2001) is an interdisciplinary artist who makes sculptures and images inspired by the water. At 11 years old, her family of five lived on a sailboat and traveled the East Coast and the Eastern Caribbean for thirteen months. Living on the water shaped her values and perspectives and established her deep love for the Ocean and the natural world. She remembers her trip through her artwork, allowing her memories to take on new identities of their own. These identities meditate on ideas of objecthood, the passage of time, and mass consumerism, manifesting as replicas, repetition, and abbreviated forms. Kate aims to ignite hope for our climate and inspire others to breathe in the salty sea air.
