ARE YOU ENJOYING THE SHOW? 2025, sequin coat and acrylic, 24”x60”
I find myself asking this question a lot. I ask a lot of things. Sometimes they manifest in ways like this. Sometimes a person, a garment, and a phrase are so aligned it carries a magic beyond words, beyond me.

EXCEPT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN, 2026 found cow hide and silkscreen ink, 72”x95”
Printed on reclaimed animal hide, this work uses a quotation from George Orwell’s Animal Farm to examine power and hierarchy. The hide functions as both evidence and metaphor, collapsing distinctions between consumption and conscience. The hide arrives already burdened with meaning: luxury and violence, desire and death, attraction and discomfort. Rather than concealing those contradictions, I use them as part of the work's language. By placing political language onto a body transformed into commodity, the work invites viewers to consider the uneasy relationship between desire, violence, and control.

Judgments, New York Magazine - “Every day, we put out into the world a version of how we want to be seen — and, of course, we’re always misunderstood. We asked strangers in Union Square to size each other up.”
METAL Magazine, 2020 “Even though mainstream media has been usually focusing on the violence, the fire and the looting, Kopenhaver’s approach differs radically. Instead, she focuses on the calm moments pre and post protest, on the people attending them, and through her work, she raises questions about what happens before and after the images we’re used to seeing on TV and big newspapers. By engaging in conversations with attendants, she gives photographs more layers of depth and understanding, of empathy – something more photographers should strive for. In today’s interview, we speak with Katelyn about attending demonstrations as a photographer, the magic of photography, and how she’s living these crucial times in history.”

Take the J Train, Culture Trip - “Over the past decade, the neighbourhood has seen massive changes: subway stops are as likely to be covered in curated street art as raw graffiti; old warehouses have become avant-garde burlesque clubs, and artisanal matcha shops threaten to displace the Spanish-language storefronts. Local residents tell us what Bushwick means to them.”
