From the press release:

In this fantastic ceramic landscape, coils of unfired clay stand in for the infrastructure that connects us, from the sweep and sway of power lines—so ubiquitous as to be easily forgotten—to the gossamer of social networks, whose invisible threads have bound us in their web of encoded interactions (“Like,” “Friend” and “+1”). These undulating, quasi-figural lines are in stark contrast to the sharp grid-like structures, at once suggestive of houses and prisons, which anchor and shelter them.

Katz works in an abstract idiom to capture the complexity of the relationship between people and the environments they create. Starting with “the apparent human need to alter our surroundings, fabricating artificial environments that suit our needs,” Katz investigates the complexity of living, “within our own constructed realities and built spaces.” But it is not just the ephemeral networks of the internet and Facebook that inspire Katz’s expansive, subtly colored, airily constructed works. Rather, development patterns of urban sprawl, suburbia and colonization shape and inform his installations, drawing parallels between the seen and unseen, the shape of our buildings and brains, and the complicated systems which connect and flow between them.
