Kate Kosek is a New York based visual artist whose colorful textile sculptures satirize the hierarchies within art, craft, and design. As bodily autonomy is threatened and Western society continues to assign value to physical and emotional labor, her visual language plays with outdated perceptions and specific icons in historical and contemporary culture. No material is off limits as she reveals the absurdity in how society continues to categorize types of work, objects, and aesthetics based on the gender binary.

Kate exhibits her work internationally and has been commissioned for numerous mural and design projects. She is included in publications by Chronicle Books (US), Laurence King (UK), and Atem Books (Spain). Her 2014 clothing collaboration with Gorman was featured in Vogue Australia. Kate received her BFA in Painting and Drawing from SUNY New Paltz in 2009 and her MFA in Studio Art with a concentration in Textiles from Georgia State University in 2023.
