About the artist:

Katie Duffy creates carnal and colorful transmedia mashups that protrude outside of easy definition and circle cheekily around deep issues of humanity. Drawing from an expansive and obsessively created “library” of code snippets and cad/cam forms, Duffy creates pieces that fuse the aesthetics of digital devices with anatomical forms. They have had recent solo exhibitions at Arlington Art Center Arlington, VA, and solo projects at Satellite Art Fair, Miami, FL. Duffy's online coding education initiative, Hack the Patriarchy, Baltimore, will be launching this summer while they are in residence at the Vermont Studio Center. Duffy's work can currently be seen in a two-person exhibition, Agentive Valley, at the South Bend Museum of Art until June 24th and in a forthcoming August '18 solo exhibition at Terrault Contemporary (Baltimore, MD). Duffy received their M.F.A. in Interdisciplinary Art from the Maryland Institute College of Art (2014), and is currently an Assistant Professor of Art and Technology at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago, IL.
