Katherine Edney
Katherine Edney lives and works in Sydney. She holds a Master of Fine Arts by Research (Painting) from COFA, UNSW.
Her current practice utilises the subject of bedsheets as a metaphor for both comfort and restlessness. While bedsheets provide a place of security - a retreat from the world - they're also a place where the mind wanders and thoughts are laid bare.
Edney has been a multi-time finalist in the Archibald Prize (2020, 2019), Salon des Refuses (2024, 2022, 2021), Portia Geach Memorial Award (2020, 2014, 2012), Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize (2019, 2018), Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship (2012, 2011) and STILL: National Still Life Award (2021), and NEAP National Emerging Art Prize 2024, among others.
She recently won the painting award at the Hornsby Art Prize for her work ‘I want to lie in the clouds with you’.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Katherine Edney
Q & A with the artist
"My work is highly personal and autobiographical. I find I have limitless inspiration for new bodies of work as my mind is always ticking over. I generally come up with an idea for a composition first and then I start the process of physically setting up this image the way I have imagined it in my head. At the same time, I’m hyper conscious of capturing a very specific light across my subject matter in order to tell the narrative."
