About This Work
Katherine's technique of taking a photographic image and turning
it into a dramatic screen-print is seen here at its best. The light spirals
down to a broad base through a blue/black field, suggesting a dancer's
twisting motion or perhaps a bright light shone onto a gyrating mobile
above one's head.
Artist Background
Born in Northern Ireland in 1982. Katherine studied in Germany before
graduating in Fine and Applied Art from the University of Ulster in
2005. She was regarded as one of the finest students in her year group
and has since pursued a career as a professional artist, curating the
Mullan Gallery in Belfast where her work is also exhibited. Katherine
was commissioned by Arts & Business Northern Ireland to produce
work for RHM Commercial LLP, a new commercial property consultancy based
in Belfast, held a one year bursary with the Belfast Print Workshop
2005-2006, and is currently working on commission and purchase works
with Ulster Hospital's research department. She is primarily a printmaker,
working with photo-etching, silk screen printing and traditional etching
techniques, but also makes jewellery and is an accomplished painter.
