Kate is interested in the way that we create and tell stories about ourselves. She is interested in how we can expand the ways we think about and describe who we think we are beyond metaphors of blood and DNA.
Her work uses inks and drawing tools she makes from materials such as plant matter, soil and scrap metal gathered from her intimate environment. She uses these inks as the starting point for conversations about family and kinship. These conversations are translated into large-scale drawings, short films and poetic texts.
