In the wake of the 2019/20 bushfires, Katherine Boland was selected as one of ten artists - six from Australia and four from the United States, to participate in OUTPUT: Art After Fire - a pilot project funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through their Australian Cultural Diplomacy Grants Program. This project supported fire-affected communities in southeast NSW and the American west by assisting visual artists and creative writers, whose practice had been affected by bushfire, to make new artwork about their experiences. 

​

In this ongoing body of work, Katherine explores themes of destruction, ephemerality and change, inside/outside, transparency and pattern, colonial overlay and land/nature and culture dichotomies.
