Curator Review
artist statement


What to many may appear as dirt and mess, I regard as my world. Dirty brushes, old rags, torn paper and crusty palettes are the beautiful that comprise the existence of my everyday. Paint drips flow like blood through my veins. I live and breathe black ink. As a result of my background in printmaking, I searched for ways to recreate the surface of smooth zinc and I found Mylar. I became addicted to this artificial surface using it to create endless numbers of figures.

My work explores the internal. I create what humans would look like with their insides exposed. Inside out we are all the same: beautiful, grotesque, honest and truthful. In love with the world created in my studio, the rawness of the marks and the mess making, I came to installation. So much of my work is the energy and life that exists in the process of creating it. I want the viewer to feel what I feel, to be taken in and absorbed into the space. The installations are crucial to letting the viewer into my world and perhaps, into themselves.

Kate - We just received "Lost your mind, or just your head?" It is a gorgeous piece - the web pictures don't do it justice. Thank you.

Interested in India, India 4, and Crash. Can you tell me a bit about the background of these paintings (ie meaning, impetus, etc).

 

Heather | 2/28/2009 | 5:05 PM

Kate, I just purchased "Downtown NYC a View from Brooklyn" and I wanted to let you know that I love what you have done so far, and I am excited to see more work from you in the future!

Hi K. Collier: Thanks for your interest in my work! Mylar is very slighty transparent semi-glossy paper. It is easily framed or mounted depending on the look you are going for. For 'The Crowd' piece I would probably recommend a frame. And my pieces are signed. Thanks! -Kate

 

K Collier | 10/26/2008 | 6:57 PM

I am intrigued by your work, especially The Crowd. I am not familiar with mylar. How would you suggest having this mounted / framed best? Also, are the mylar pieces signed? thanks -

we love your work; if we had enough (any) money, we'd buy it all. well done.
