Katelyn Geard
Fragments
23 Aug - 3 Sep 2023
G3
Opening Night
Friday 25 Aug | 6 - 8pm
◼︎
Fragments explore how emotion is held in and expressed through the body using photography and graphite drawings of human form and gesture isolated in negative space. In these works, the body becomes a vehicle for communication through non-verbal language.
Emulsion lifts are paired with hyper-realistic drawings made with brushes, graphite (both powdered and compressed in pencils), and erasure techniques that create images of fragmented bodies existing somewhere between seeing and feeling.

Katelyn’s work is informed by a long tradition of drawing and observing the body. She works across multiple mediums including drawing, painting, textiles, and digital photography.
Katelyn is interested in art as a form of communication and expression. Her works are mostly representational and introspective explorations of embodied identity and experience. She is interested in the human body as something that feels and can be felt, and something that holds, interprets, and expresses emotions.
