Biography

Kate is an artist, curator and founder of The Cumbria Network.

Working in a variety of media, from illustration to installation, her projects often reflect an aspect of society: from her ‘small wonderments’ and ideas of intrigue, to spontaneous drawings that capture the idiosyncrasies of modern day life.

Kate uses larger scale installation as a medium to raise sociological queries, stemming from a fascination with how the self sits within its social and physical environment, and how we deal with the tensions this creates. Interaction is often an important component of the installations, where the audience is invited to take part, to touch, to play.

Graduating from Camberwell College in 1998 Kate worked for a number of years at The Independent newspaper as a graphic artist, and completed an MA in Art’s Management at City University. She now lives and works in Cumbria and has been involved in numerous projects such as The Village Bakery Gallery, Greystones Gallery, Bluebell Bookshop and FRED which she co-founded in 2004 with fold.
