Kathy Temin

Kathy Temin (born 1968) is an Australian artist who uses synthetic fur to create sculptural objects and installations.

[1][2] She is represented in a number of public collections in Australia and New Zealand and is a professor and Head of Fine Art at Monash University in Melbourne.

[4] Writing on Frieze.com, Kit Wise has described the appearance of her sculptural works as "roughly cobbled together or misshapen, deliberately undercutting any idealism associated with the art object and positing instead something far more anxious and awkward.

[8] Temin's work 'My Monument: White Forest’ [9] in QAGOMA's collection drew the attention of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian when searching for inspiration for an installation for their annual Christmas party.

[12] Temin has also done a series of works about the Australian pop star Kylie Minogue, and the phenomenon of fandom culture.
