“Physicality is a gateway to an intimate view of our existence. My paintings are of the flesh. The DNA of flesh. The mark left behind by flesh.”
Katherine paints the absent body, corporeal echos that trace the displacement of the body from ordinary life, whether through trauma or transcendence. Her paintings express a joyous vulnerability and serious pleasure. Constructed through a sensual, choreographed language of marks and glazes, they hint at the sanguineous flower, the entwined eros of lovers, or the pulsing tenderness that can only come from motherhood.
