Kati Saarits (b. 1992) is an artist whose work is defined by a sensitive approach to materiality and an intuitive, hand-driven process in creating her installations. Saarits explores the intersections between applied and visual arts, focusing on transitional spaces between functional objects and sculptural forms. Her research centers around tableware and table settings, exploring how society, industrial processes and heritage have shaped the functionalities and materials found on the kitchen table. Saarits holds a bachelor’s degree from the Estonian Academy of Arts in Installation and Sculpture and has furthered her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana and in the carpentry program at Tallinn Construction School. She is currently pursuing an MA in Crafts Studies at the Estonian Academy of Arts.
