Taking her Imagined Realities** paintings as a starting point, Kate uses various processes; folding, veiling or concealing, fragmenting & reassembling, making models or projections; to distort the original ‘space’ and create a new painting. These processes expose the ambiguity of the text, the writer’s position and the unknown qualities beyond what is described.

Kate uses paint as a metaphor for her understanding of text, working back and forth until a new space is revealed. She explores how we receive information; how we piece together images from words, and evoke the passing of time as our memories mix and overlap.
