About

Katherine Pogson’s work considers human relationships with nature. Her current practice uses Lepidoptery - the study of butterflies and moths - as an entry point for exploring ‘more-than-human’ interactions. 

In the Anthropocene age, and with growing awareness of the ecological emergency, this inevitably encounters stories of loss, damage and extinction. In taking a moth’s-eye view, this work focuses instead on the requirements for flourishing life – nourishment, procreation and autonomy to move freely – to foster a more relational, multispecies sensibility.

Katherine is currently completing a PhD by practice at University of the Arts, London. She is an Associate Lecturer in cultural Studies at London College of fashion, specialising in Critical Sustainability and environmental design thinking.

In her previous life, Katherine spent fifteen years as a designer-maker based at Cockpit Arts, Holborn, and Livingstone Studios, Hampstead.
