About
Kate is a Melbourne-based artist and teacher. Her materials of interest, over thirty years’ practice, include glass, cement, copper, wire, fibre and found objects. Valuing curiosity, experimentation, and skilled understanding of technique to challenge the possibilities of a medium, she explores our perception of the intrinsic value of things: objects, time, and place.
Working concurrently with disparate materials, Kate recontextualises and makes unexpected connections. Kate embraces experimentation, science, and serendipity.
