About me
Kateryna Kostelna
Was born in Ukraine and currently resides in Canada, Vancouver.
Kateryna is a multidisciplinary artist currently working with themes of intergenerational connections between women and intangible heritage.
Part of her artistic practice explores repression, anxiety, and self-harm as ways of engaging with psychological experience.
In her work, she combines textiles, screen printing, and construction materials to create sculptural objects and spatial installations.
