Kathryn Moretz

Kathryn Moretz is from and is a current resident of the North Carolina mountains near the town of Boone, NC. She received her BFA and MFA in sculpture at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

​

She has shown her work in various galleries in North Carolina, New Jersey, and in Italy. Currently she is exploring themes of identity and self awareness through ritualistic practices. She uses photography and video performance as a medium to explore how rituals and transformative experiences can heighten one's self awareness and self love. She uses her own viewpoint as a woman living in the U.S. to start a dialogue about healing and self-esteem.

​

Consisting of performance and video installation, these works dive into the connections between the mundane rituals of the everyday, spiritual practices, and the natural and constructed landscape.  Specifically mining the similarities and differences between the secular and sacred, her work attempts to understand how personal actions and experience can be meshed with the mystical encounters of the scenery she calls home.
