biography_
Katya Savel (b.1993) is an artist working between Los Cabos, New York, and Seoul. Her practice examines the charged space between bodies, technologies, and longing as a site through which memory, perception, and reality are negotiated. Across sculpture, new media, installation, and performance, Savel examines how material and process, analog and digital, act as portals for the body to morph, mutate, obstruct, subvert, and reveal. Her work nudges toward the feminine and spiritual sides of technology, destabilizing fixed understandings of form, reality, and the Self. Universal sensations of bodily discomfort, dysmorphia, and the feeling of being a soul confined in flesh recur throughout her practice. Savel investigates language as the root of human perception and understanding, with linguistic evolution operating as a pathway toward new realities. Savel holds a B.F.A. in Fine Arts and a B.A. in History of Art from Cornell University. Her work has been presented in New York, Seoul, Barcelona, Rome, and Daegu.
