My current work has been focusing on scale and material combinations that cause tension and intrigue for the viewer. I am interested in what happens when materials come together especially between ceramics and inflatable’s. I am really interested in movement and have been exploring this through inflatable sculptures and am now beginning to bring them together with the ceramic work.

My work began from an idea I had in Belgium whilst on Erasmus (January - July 2012), where I started to notice how small I was. I began looking at ways of how I could become taller and these ideas developed into the body of work I called "The Prototypes" (http://hay-katie.tumblr.com/)  I created quite large sized works whilst I was away, trying to almost scale up to the city and prove myself to my new surroundings and peers.

Drawing and collage has become a fundamental part of my work, allowing me to get my ideas down and out of my head and help visualise what installations or sculptures will look like.

Space drawings

In a week I am going back to England but I have been trying to revisit Spode already by looking at photographs.

Here is the main work i did during our workshop in September. I am interested in maps, oblique strategies and tactility  In this work I layered an old map of a heating proposal that I found in the factory, on to the actual room. I draw the lines from the map in scale 1:1 as if projected from above with electrical tape. This started of a whole new body of work which I call space drawings.

I worked with details to draw attention to the room itself.

words, reflections:

-transportation--> narrow boats along the train line, city asleep, -Jean Baudrillard, simulacra and simulacrum = simulated reality?
-untouched
-computertraces - digital past, Order of things (Michel Foucault) --> fragile objects -The trust in our knowledge of realism might be out of place when working in areas where you do not even know what kind of past that really has been taking place... -communication with Stoke <-> workshop#/&%?

I make reduced functional sculptures with industrial modern materials, focusing on creating lines to confront the viewer.

A series of reduced concentrated maps of the centre of Merano followed by images of a ground installation, creating a life scale map.  These peices marked and confirmed the location of the exhibition with a red dot, directing the publics attention and interaction.

Reflecting the idea of the non- existant, man- made creation that is Line. Used to understand and explain a shape but in its existence takes on qualities independent from it.

'Arrow Benches'

Wood, Steel, Resin  

The Arrow Benches point  the viewer around the room in an unsubtle yet playful manner.  

Through their chosen form and placement invisible lines are created  drawing connections between the viewer,  the piece and other works exhibited in the space.

Creative destruction

I placed a throwing wheel in one end of the big China hall and began throwing. I tried out different shapes and ways of placing and dropping the thrown objects on the floor.

The performance became about the skill and act of creating which was in strong contrast to the space and its enormous size and emptiness.

 

 

 Throughout the period I was focusing on myself as an artist and my capacity of bringing life into the site. Having the site’s history in mind I tried to be open to the place and its potential possibilities that would not necessarily connect to the former production of ceramics.
