"DANCE OF THE SHADOWS"
No Vacancy Gallery, Sept 2022
In her latest series, Dance of the Shadows, she explores the movement of dance, translating movement and energy into still painting pieces. Shifting away from a heavily conceptual focus, Kate magnifies the importance of intuition and the freedom and unpredictability of the artistic process.
The project was realised during a creative block – eager for ideas she lay some canvas on the floor and moved to the sounds of music. With crayons strapped to her fingers and toes, she danced lines, shapes, and markings across the surface of her canvas. Then if she liked the lines she created, she used these shapes as the outlines for a new painting.


Artists note
“I love the freedom in the learned approach I have taken to creating, now I have embraced it, and decided to let go of the idea of controlling many areas of my practice, it has really elevated my practice and also my life.”
