Katie Truk

Katie Truk started experimenting with pantyhose as a medium in 1995. While an undergrad at Alfred University she began combining the translucent nature of pantyhose with the strong luminescence of neon. After graduation neon manipulation was out of the question due to the lack of studio space for its complex and demanding needs. Yet pantyhose still captured and held her imagination. 1999, with the gift of some old beach fencing, brought about the first pantyhose and wire creations. Although she dabbled with the addition of material for a small time and wire gauges, it was the intercommunication of the pantyhose and reinforcing concrete floor wire that held the right combinations. Though size, colors and textures change in each of the microcosm, they maintain to be a storybook of traits and personalities that can never be examined to tedium.
