Born 1968, Sydney; lives and works in Melbourne, Australia.

Kathy Temin’s work engages the inherent contradictions of dualities such as public and private; monumental and domestic; sincere and ironic. Her sculptural monuments, which are both minimal and sentimental, invoke references to interior design from the 1970s; solid and heavy, yet softened with Temin’s signature synthetic fur upholstery. As models for commemoration, her Pet Cemetery works allow for both pathos and celebration.

Kathy Temin is represented by Anna Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne and Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, Sydney.
