Whenever I walk into Kathryn's space, I am instantly super-inspired and overcome by a huge urge to make something. She has the most interesting collection of materials, found and made, and her studio feels like a workshop where magic is definitely going to happen.

I photographed Kathryn this past winter, early in the project, and at that time I was only doing portraits of the artist herself. After my first few sessions with the AER crew, I ended up deciding to shoot more of the process/environment in the studios. I think I have to go back to Kathryn's studio to do that someday, because seriously, guys, she has the COOLEST stuff in there :)
