Kat Honey
KAT HONEY is an award-winning graduate of OCAD. Often bold (but sometimes subtle), Kat’s work in collage, signage and painting is informed by her graphic design background.
Recent exhibitions include: The Red Head Gallery, Gladstone House’s Come Up to My Room, In Situ Multi-Arts Festival, Artist Project 2023 & 2024, 1 Adelaide East, Quest Art, Midland, and Fashion Art Toronto Fall/Winter 2023.
Kat recently designed and illustrated Bright Fish, a book of poetry by the late Lavell Ferris Baldock.
Kat designed a neon installation for Gladstone House (fabricated by FUSE Neon), has 3 collage prints in a suite The Postmark Hotel in Newmarket, and has work in all suites and corridors of the newly renovated Union Hotel in Toronto.
She also teaches collage (and other art subjects) online and in-person and hosts the popular Virtual Collage Jam on Youtube — featured in Kolag Magazine issue #34.
When she's not in the studio or teaching, Kat can often be found in her gym or out riding one of her beloved bicycles...
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Kat Honey’s collages remix contemporary fashion imagery to excavate, interpolate and fabricate layers of meaning and expression. By subverting the prevailing flawlessness of unattainable ideals, can more of our complexity, humanity and true beauty be revealed?
How do we present ourselves to the world? How do outside pressures alter our self-expression? What feels safe? Dangerous? Beautiful? What complex layers lie below our shiny surfaces — kept hidden — or exposed by chance or circumstance?
These works are created by hand at magazine scale, then digitally enhanced and greatly enlarged, magnifying the qualities of printing dots, paper textures, tears and cuts.
