Dawn Knight is an interdisciplinary artist focused on relational aesthetics. Her work is concerned with family and genetics, personal comfort and sanctuary, the dynamics of social interaction and intimacy through verbal and non-verbal discourse, and gender roles.

Knight's work includes poetry and spoken word, hand-made books, video, sculpture, installation and performance works. She investigates the ways that individual and collective expectations, assumptions, and biases play in constructing complex interactions between intimates and strangers, and ultimately lead us to redefine ourselves.
