The better things come out of a lot of thinking and probably more planning than I realise.
Katherine combines painting and traditional printmaking techniques, bringing together disparate narratives in hyper-real or folkloric spaces. Perceptions of safety and danger are often presented using archetypal motifs such as a house, flower, sun or tree. Collographs and etchings depict the reoccurring motif of a house, often in a natural environment. Conflicting ideas of nurture, protection and collaboration which are prevalent in Katie’s prints, become comparable to ideas of returning or leaving the figurative or actual home.
Katherine is currently a visiting lecturer in Fine Art Printmaking at universities and colleges across the United Kingdom and Europe.
She was elected as a Royal Academician in 2022. Public collections include the V&A Prints And Drawings Collection, The Ashmolean Museum, Yale University Library and The House of Lords.
