Colour Stacks Series

This group of work, entitled Colour Stacks, is an exploration of colour, texture, opacity, and transparency. With each layer of colour Katherine attempts to subvert her initial instincts and choices in order to find unexpected colour relationships. By ignoring and pushing past what she thinks would be the obvious colour choice, Katherine seeks to question and to understand her own instincts and where they come from.
 

Works on Paper

In her works on paper, Katherine embraces her instincts and works quickly with acrylic, gouache, ink, coloured pencil, and markers. Each mark is a response to the last mark and thus the piece evolves without a predetermined outcome. She is often thinking about seasonal shifts, weather, and the natural environments from which she collects objects and memories. These pieces are often bright and colourful and are a place for Katherine to be free and expressive with her mark making and colour choices.
