You and Me and Nothing continues Katherine’s use of the body and its shift in position between object and subject, challenging the idea of the gaze and questioning who is watching and who is being watched.Â

A great article here about our re-opening - apart from the pun in the headline, of course!
as the weekend quietened down and I got the chance to go out and see some artists studios for myself - as they were all looking their best - i visited Oliver Hein’s new space in the newest studio block building and found myself walking around his new installation. A large blue and black rectangular installation which features a breathing blue material within a black material with holes in it - i was around the back with wysing artists chris wood and helen judge and we were collectively experiencing the breathing feeling and adjusting to the light and the space around the piece. Our conversation due to other factors was drawn to death - particularly close family members - this installation seemed the perfect place for three friends to be discussing something quite emotional and personal to themselves and was extremely cathartic and quite private despite the over 1000 visitors that had maybe been through Oliver’s studio across our first Open Weekend and Launch event.Â
I am interested in the complexities of the human condition and the tenuous relationships that take place between myself and other people: how we interact with each other on a daily basis and our different levels of understanding (or lack of it) in social and private situations.
In the studio, extensions of my own personality are projected into the work during an intensive and rigorous making and thinking process. There is often a tense struggle involved in arriving at something which contains an essence of what I want to communicate openly and honestly.
You can see more of my work at the forthcoming ArtFutures exhibition at Bloomberg Space, London in March.
