Katherine in the garden at Jane Sauer Galley Artist Statement
My artworks interpret nature’s elegance and economy, which repeat certain forms – spirals, branches, waves and tightly-packed structural modules. My work uses paper and encaustic, each of which possess relatively little explored characteristics beyond their traditional uses. Paper combines strength, lightness, flexibility and rigidity – characteristics that make it supremely suitable for sculptural experimentation. I work with khadi, an archival handmade paper from India that is made primarily from recycled T-shirts. It comes in varying weights that are signified by number of elephants – “Four Elephant” being the heaviest. This weight is indeed very nearly like hide, so strong and heavily sized that I cannot tear it without first softening it in water. I mix my own colors from fluid acrylics, a formulation heavily pigmented for color intensity and light-fastness. I like the challenge of creating forms and expressions that cannot be realized via any other materials. Paper’s strength and pliability have distinct structural limits. But these chancy qualities themselves invite fooling around, experimentation and innovation close to the edge – for me, truly the realm of play.
