Catherine Ko Chen is an artist from San Francisco, California, based in London, UK.

Her work is centered around the quiet invisible labour of sense-making, the ways which we assign meaning and categorise experience. The paintings are artefacts of examining what is remembered, what it becomes, and how it is represented after some distance.
