Katie Hallam is a visual artist based in Perth, Scotland. Primarily working in digital photography and print, she has recently moved into creating sculptural works exploring her key interests in the physicality of ancient geology and the dematerialised aesthetics of contemporary technology. Katie considers the traces our digital culture will leave on the earth, evolving and morphing materials transformed into fossilised objects to be found by future archaeologists. These digital-mineral hybrid and hypnotic works sit against a background of open, natural and urban landscapes that tease the question of future glitches in nature which call into question the sustainability of the contemporary world's technological fixations.

With continued demand for refined mineral resources, geological matter is increasingly presented as a substance that is ascribed value through its conversion into a product, particularly products associated with technology. These sculptures address the physical dimensions of this materiality, the concern of natural resource depletion as we irreversibly change the Earth's landscape.
