Katie Parker is a UK-based sculptor and installation artist whose work explores control, containment, and power through the lens of femininity, labour, and social expectation. Working with materials and forms associated with domesticity, beauty, and consumer culture, she creates large-scale installations that balance elegance with threat and familiarity with unease.

Her practice examines how systems of power shape bodies and identities, particularly through economic pressure, gendered labour, and cultural ideals. Humour often functions in the work as a form of resilience rather than irony, allowing heavy themes to remain survivable without softening their impact. Parker’s work is rooted in questions of access, agency, scale, and visibility.
