BIO : Sharon Katz

Sharon Katz's domestic world takes curious, material form in her work - from needles pushing through fabric to animated pink panties, from beef and bone memento mori to the sensual bonding of a shirt collar and tie. Born and raised in Montreal, she has produced and directed six animated short films. She continues to work in narrative animation, video/sculpture hybrids, and drawing/assemblage.

Sharon Katz is a visual artist working in animated and still imagery. Primarily using drawing techniques and a minimalist style, she creates narrative work that is both lyrical and poetic. Producer-director of six short animated films which have screened widely in film festivals, she also exhibits mixed-media artwork in Canada and abroad. She is currently working in collaboration with composer Kiki Keren-Huss on an experimental opera integrating animation and live performance. She blogs for awn.com, and lives and works in Canada.
