Inking up a wood block at Frogman's Print Workshop in 2016
Kathryn Combs is an American artist and educator who is trained as a printmaker. Her work explores relationships between technology, society, and individuals. Kathryn's work has been shown throughout the American South at the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art in Augusta, Georgia and internationally at Spazio SV in Venice.
Her most recent works investigate the huge quantities of consumer data used to train generative AI and algorithms used in social media. Creating a visual representation of these constantly growing volumes, the work serves as a jumping off point for viewers to get engaged with digital literacy and public policy.
Combs is currently a Visiting Professor of Drawing at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK, USA.
