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.
With a conflation of personal development with political activism, Kate explores themes of care, loss, responsibility and eco-feminism, underpinned by 'Visual Nutrition' - a theoretical duty of care played out through aesthetic projects.
Kate readily reclaims components from previous work to make new, and uses temporary or transient materials alongside the detritus of consumption, to exploit both the life-cycle and cultural code of material for expressive, rather than morally didactic, means.
