Introducing: Birthing Portraits
A Birthing Portrait is a collaborative project between Katherine and her clients, offering an opportunity for mothers/birthing people to share their fertility/pregnancy/birth or postpartum story and to receive in turn a unique sculpture that powerfully represents her unique story, experience, and self.
Bodies, Series 1 & Series 2
A limited series featuring two collections, Series 1 and Series 2. Created of porcelain and stoneware clay bodies, these figures explore the intersection of matrescence, embodiment, and sacred mystery.
Shelter (And) Place
This photographic journal depicts a journey during and beyond the Shelter-in-Place mandate within the COVID-19 Pandemic through the lens of motherhood.
Katherine Hanks is an interdisciplinary artist based in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. She is deeply inspired by her identity as mother, her intimate connection to landscape, and her pursuit of authenticity.
