Katrin Spranger is an environmental artist creating glass and metal sculptures dealing with environmental issues, depletion of resources and dystopian narratives.
Katrin Spranger is a multi-disciplinary artist, who creates enthralling sculptures, performances, sculptural paintings and jewellery drawing on the stark realities of the environmental crisis.
Innovative techniques involve the development of crude oil into jewellery that melts on the body and the 3D printing of honey into edible art in engaging performances.
The baroque play with metamorphosis and mortality in Aquatopia celebrates the modern alchemy of copper and limescale while reminding us of the pollution of our most precious resource - water!
Finding beauty in the poetic reflection of man-made destruction of resources her work both seduces and challenges us to tap into our planetary consciousness.
Being a passionate educator, Katrin co-founded the K2 Academy of Contemporary Jewellery in London in 2016, where she teaches art and design qualifications. She is also an associate artist at Climate Museum UK, an experimental museum that curates and gathers responses to the Earth crisis.
