Weekly Inspiration ✨
Artist: Kate Tucker
In my work materials and forms are layered and embedded. Materials morph, their characteristics swapped and equalised into collective ambiguity. The works sit on a spectrum between objects and painting, with the various parts engaged in a process of mutual support. I don’t set out knowing what a work will look like, but move through a series of systems devised in order to be disrupted. Working across many materials and numerous works at a time, I try to prolong the open, playful middle of a process. After things are moving but before they start to resolve, there is both a threat of chaos and the potential to locate its opposite. Pulling different, at times conflicting, materials together and turning them into something solid, sound and lasting, can be seen as a metaphor for life. Always an artist, only sometimes working, I bring all of me to everything I make. (from editor)
