Katrien Doms
-
Katrien Dom's woodworking is defined by her poetic Ukiyo series, working outdoors year-round, allowing the weather to influence and shape her work. Beginning with green wood, the artist subjects the material to open-flame charring, using the traditional yet unpredictable technique of fire-scorching. This process generates fluid, organic contours, as the heat warps and cracks the surface, revealing the raw expressiveness of the material.
Katrien worked as an Interior Architect for over two decades, collaborating with exceptional craftspeople but at the same time growing increasingly concerned about the diminishing value of expert design and craft in contemporary society. She now devotes her time to woodworking, exhibiting her work internationally at FOG San Francisco, COLLECT, Masterpiece, and PAD London.
