More Information

Katherine Chronis is a Chicago born artist. Katherine proudly stands with her fall sense of self offering an apple from the Tree of Knowledge. She was once arrested on the steps of the Capital Building in Austin, TX for being naked in public. She was charged with the crime of “sexual temptation.” At her trial, the prosecutor couldn’t decide which part was worse to display: the asshole or the vagina. Later Katherine said, “I became stronger in the act of doing strange work. To be holy is to be a heretic.” KC
