Weaving and knitting

Katteneder completed an apprenticeship as a sculptor in Pasching from 1983 to 1987. From 1988 he studied at the Art Academy Linz with Erwin Reiter in the master class sculpture . In 1995/96 he had a teaching position for wood design there. He has been working with Nikola Jakadofsky in a studio in Rechberg since 1996.

The artist is inspired in his work by landscapes, locations or architectural structures. He consciously uses simple materials that do not have a hint of the noble, elitist and untouchable.
