Kate's language is primarily physical, colourful and humorous, and originates from a process of play and experimental invention. Her practice is sympathetic to the expanded field of painting, using ready-made colour to construct psuedo-functional propositions that resist both traditional painting hierarchies and sensible logic.
Underpinned by 'Visual Nutrition' - a theoretical duty of care played out through aesthetic projects - Kate explores themes of harm, care, loss, eco-feminism, and, the confusion of self-development for political activism.
Kate readily reclaims components from previous work to make new, and uses temporary or transient materials alongside the detritus of consumption, to exploit the life-cycle of material for expressive, rather than morally didactic, means.
