Every summer the Serpentine Gallery commissions a pavilion in their grounds in Hyde Park, a temporary structure, designed to be dismantled and moved to a new location. The pavilion is often a collaboration between an architect and an artist. In the Serpentine Pavilions paintings, Kate explores geometry, depth and colour to capture these unique structures in oil on canvas.

See sound-painting, Cloud,  inspired by the 2013 pavilion, by Sou Fujimoto.
