Kate Mueller is an installation artist who combines welding and collage techniques to create large-scale, cathedral like assemblages. Mueller’s background in technical design and fabrication informs the structural and visual balance of her large scale, grandiose sculptures.

She applies a variety of unconventional techniques and materials to her work, including 35mm photography, found objects, glass, and mirrors. This self-taught method of mashing and mixing; consists of a meticulous physical process of cutting, stitching, and welding negative and positive forms together, resulting in monumental- and often functional- sculptures that are ethereal and thought-provoking.

Raised in a deeply cloistered religious community, Mueller’s artistic journey addresses the yearning for ineradicable connection and a critical examination of established norms, both spiritual and secular. This unconventional upbringing continues to inform her work, pushing her to explore themes of shared humanity, consciousness and the power of questioning the status quo. Mueller has created site-specific, interactive installations in Santa Monica, Downtown LA, Ventura County She lives and works in Los Angeles.
