Hi, I’m KRAWALD (they/them). I’m a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, ceramics, installation, and digital illustration. My practice blends hands-on making with conceptual research, exploring memory, environment, and the politics of display through installations, residencies, and group shows. Beyond making, I work as an art advisor and editor for MFA artists, shaping editorial direction and curating exhibitions. I’ve contributed to projects like Littell’s exhibition What Is In the Space Between the Camera and the Picture and various design collaborations, while continuing my studies at Pratt Institute.
