Two-Fold brings together artist and former architect Kate Proudman and designer-maker Emma Appleton in a dialogue that explores the act of translation, between individuals, dimensions, and disciplines. Through painting, printmaking, sculpture and projection, the exhibition traces how one form can fold into another, and how memory, space, and language shift in the process.
Both artists explore space and how it is imagined and represented, Kate through painting and drawing and Emma in sculpture, 3D design and etching. Both investigate the spatial potential of form, folds and casts, manipulating materials and images to transform and redefine physical space.
At the heart of the exhibition are a series of collaborative works beginning from a shared prompt: a written description of a place with personal significance given by a collaborator but unknown to the artists. From this starting point, each artist interprets the text independently, Kate through painting and Emma through three-dimensional form. Brought together, Emma’s sculptures become surfaces for the distortion of Kate’s paintings, so creating a new space by both artists, a dialogue that blurs the boundaries between two and three dimensions. These works evolve into new paintings, continuing the dialogue and the abstraction, evoking the way memory shifts through time.
