Kathryn Faludi-Ball lives and works in Hobart, Tasmania. She graduated from the University of Tasmania with a B.F.A. (Hons) in 1993 majoring in ceramics as an undergraduate moving into sculpture for her honors year. Faludi Ball completed a PhD by research in 2003 titled Vena Casa: The defloration of Maternity and is currently concluding a Masters of Counselling (psychotherapy).

Her work has consistently drawn reference from psychoanalytic theory, with particular consideration given to contemporary trends in object relation’s theory. Her work articulates in sculptural language the movement and permeations that happen between contained spaces of the ‘psyche’ and the ‘physical’. Her work blends visual references of the domestic interior, the ‘lived body’ and animalia.

Faludi Ball has exhibited in several noteworthy group shows in the past decade including Home Body in 1996 and SKIN 2005. In 2004 she was the recipient of the Moorilla Scholarship, culminating in a solo exhibition titled Flutter in the same year.
