Katharine Paton-King
Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, UK
Katharine is fascinated by what makes us human and how, in turn, humankind situates itself within the natural world. This is the foundation of all her work.
Whereas her steer is a constant search for meaning and value – looking to the Gods, both ancient and modern, to explain the how and why of that relationship between the earth and its inhabitants.
Her work is invariably 3D and with purpose that goes beyond the decorative. Often it takes the form of wearable art or if not that then a miniature homage reminiscent of a relic or precious fragment.
The aim is to draw the audience in, encourage them to give time and space to consider who they are and where they sit in the world, through making objects that make a statement despite their ordinary beginnings.
