Katie Garth is a print-based artist in Philadelphia. Her interdisciplinary practice explores the solace of routine in an increasingly frenetic world, positioning tedium as a coping mechanism from persistent chaos and seeming insignificance. She frames nondescript items like chairs, notebooks, and sneakers as sacred vestiges of a shared existence, often pairing imagery with confessional writing or found text. These isolated objects and language fragments provoke enchantment and unease, emphasizing the strangeness of everyday circumstances. Garth received her MFA from the Tyler School of Art and a BFA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
