Katie Koti’s photography focuses on identity, desire, and embodiment, often using landscape to explore visceral connections between bodies, culture, and nature. She is a member of the Yale MFA Photography class of 2012 and she earned a BFA in Photography and Graphic Design at the Rhode Island School of Design. This work is from her new series, Chosen Blood, which was shot with an Ebony 4×5 field camera. She writes:
‘My current body of work, Chosen Blood is an ongoing exploration that brings to light familial aspects of the human experience and the intricate ties
formed with others; the bonds between blood and chosen blood. This project explores the intimacy and truths of the body and spirit; innate and extrinsic attractions and behaviors. The closeness of this family is rare. My photographs strive to celebrate this closeness, their wildness, their innocence, their energy, their vulnerability.’
