Taking as a starting point each of her Imagined Realities** paintings, Kate uses various processes, fragmenting, folding, revealing & concealing, making models, projections etc. to distort the original ‘space’ to 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.

**paintings made from a collaborator’s written description of a personally significant place unknown to the artist, see Imagined Realities
