My drawing are made in response to bodily impulse and experience.
Each drawing has a life, comes from a life, before it becomes a drawing.
In our bodies and with our consciousness we are able to know and sense phenomena,
relationships, memories and events in embryo.
It is this knowing which I need to draw in order to know. The knowing becomes a process of purification, the drawing is an act of ignition, giving fire to, bringing to the light.
It is my intention to make marks which are tender and telling. I hope to touch people.
My recent exhibitions explore aspects of solitariness and the feeling of being separate: the sense of hearing, of being heard, of hearing oneself, of being able to hear another, or perhaps not wanting to hear. As she works Kate tries to inhabit a place which Agnes Martin calls 'free and easy wandering'; that is, she allows her drawings to find their own way to the surface of the paper.
