Katrina Palmer (born 1967) [1] is a British artist and writer, living in London. She is "best known for her investigations of sculptural materiality, which often involve written compositions and site-specific recordings". [2] Palmer has had solo exhibitions at the Henry Moore Institute, the National Gallery, and Warwick Arts Centre. In 2014, she was co-winner of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation's Award for Artists.
Palmer was born in London. [3] She studied philosophy and English literature at the University of Sussex (1986–89). She then worked in the publishing industry for a decade. She gained an undergraduate sculpture degree at Central Saint Martins (2001–04); and received an MA (2004–06) and a PhD (2012) from the Royal College of Art. In 2024 she received an honorary doctorate from the University of Sussex. [4]
End Matter was a multi-platform project consisting of The Loss Adjusters, a site-specific installation and audio walk around some of the Isle of Portland (April–June 2015); "The Quarryman's Daughters", a broadcast on BBC Radio 4; and End Matter, a book. The project "attempted to account for the systematic removal of huge quantities of stone from Portland, an island off the Dorset coast". [5] [6] [7] The book End Matter is "a non-book, consisting of appendices, acknowledgements, an epilogue, an index, a map, some postscripts… all the written notes and paraphernalia that surrounds a written work, but not the actual main body text". [8]
Palmer was the National Gallery in London's 2024 Artist in Residence. [2]
As of 2015 [update] , she lived in London, with her husband and son. [8]
