biography_
Katya Savel (b.1993) is an artist working between Los Cabos, New York, and Seoul. Her practice examines the charged space between bodies, technologies, and longing as a site through which memory and perception are negotiated. Savel’s material vocabulary frequently incorporates natural, biological, and waste-derived materials, bringing organic processes into dialogue with technological production. Across sculpture, installation, new media, and performance, Savel examines how flesh and the body morph, mutate, obstruct, subvert, and reveal, nudging toward feminine and spiritual sides of technology. Savel’s inquiry extends to the temporal, investigating recursive, mutable, and ancestral notions of time. Language and linguistic evolution become a means of examining the roots of human perception, while gesturing toward the possibility of new realities. Savel holds a B.F.A. in Fine Arts and a B.A. in History of Art from Cornell University. Her work has been presented in New York, Seoul, Barcelona, Rome, and Daegu.
