Atrium Cases

October 2, 2025 – January 24, 2026

Katie Kameen collects secondhand plastics and recontextualizes them as art materials that have the potential to communicate aspects of her personal experiences. By combining highly saturated and muted colors into wearable and interactive sculptures, she invites the viewer into her world. The objects retain an element of their history and become part of a new expressive language. Through dynamic compositions, she considers color and shape both as formal and psychological tools. Physical interaction, through holding, wearing, and touching, encourages the viewer to consider their own relationship with plastics and everyday objects. By using familiar utilitarian objects that bring back recollections of the home, Kameen revisits past emotions, creating a kind of self-portraiture that speaks to the connection between consumer culture and domesticity. 

Kameen received her MFA in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. She exhibits nationally and internationally and has been published in American Craft Magazine, Friend of the Artist, and Uppercase Magazine. Katie is an assistant professor of 3D sculpture media at Augusta University in Augusta, Georgia.
