Katie Shapiro (b. 1983, Los Angeles) is an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. She holds a BFA in photography from CalArts and an MFA from the University of California, Irvine. Her practice explores the ineffable, making visible what cannot be seen, and uses photography as sculpture: images of landscapes, celestial bodies and intimate moments are printed on glass, set in mirrored frames and placed into geologic specimens such as obsidian and jade. She has held residencies at the Banff Centre and Bullseye Glass, and her exhibition "The Other Side of the Moon" is her most autobiographical body of work to date.
