Katy Binks

PRINTMAKER PROFILE

ARTIST STATEMENT

Based in London and the North West, Katy Binks is a multi-disciplinary artist with a broad and colourful creative practice specialising in prints, murals and textile design. She discovered her passion for printmaking while studying BA Graphic Arts at the University of East London, before joining the highly regarded MA Printmaking course at Camberwell College of Arts.

Binks’ rich graphic palette is informed by a questioning and experimental spirit, exploring the relationships between colour, shape, volume and proportion, as well as engaging with architecture and the urban environment. More recently, she has been exploring a looser, more intuitive approach to printmaking. This new sense of freedom has invigorated her practice to such an extent that it now has more in common with painting than with edition-led printmaking.
