Colorado-based Katie Simmons is an artist, educator, and wildlife biologist from east Tennessee. She creates drawings centered on the parallels she observes between the exploitation and commodification of the natural world and female bodies in the Anthropocene. Using natural dyes and fibers, Katie works with materials in a way that promotes their agency and vitality. Atop dyed surfaces, she then creates drawings of bodily ecosystems in ballpoint pen. Her work seeks to flatten hierarchies, embrace radical care, and explore making kin in our modern era.
