Kate Joyce

Kate Joyce’s work explores the ambiguities of things in the process of change. She uses photography, text, and installations to explore time suspended between the indistinct and specific.

Kate’s 2021 artist-designed book Metamorphoses imagines transformations and translations between a series of contemporary photographs from Chile and Ovid’s collection of myths from the ancient world. Confined to the window seat on commercial airplanes, Metaphysics (2022) is a study of sunlight illuminating passengers and cabin interiors at the fluid interface of body and machine.

Analogies (2023) is a dialogue in picture sequences between Kate Joyce and software engineer Gordon Cameron that asks how human minds make connections and communicate and how these transform across images and asks what it might mean for artificial intelligence to do the same.

About Fallingwater Institute

When Edgar Kaufmann jr. entrusted Fallingwater to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in 1963, he envisioned Fallingwater not only as a place where visitors would come to experience great architecture, but also where a deeper experience of art, design and nature might occur.

Kaufmann imagined that Fallingwater could become a place where artists, scholars, designers and learners might come to find inspiration from the building and its landscape while pursuing individual or group study. Today, the Fallingwater Institute, formally established in 2015, honors that vision by providing a stimulating location for creative collaboration and inspired thinking through immersive classes, workshops and residencies. By serving an international community through its innovative programming, the Fallingwater Institute works to create and disseminate new ideas that promote harmony between people and nature.
