KATE CARR

My work begins with material. I make marks with fabric. I create line with plywood. I find density in felt. I return again and again to materials like these that are in themselves quite plain, often associated with utility, and usually very familiar, though overlooked in our daily lives. These material choices give my work a tactile immediacy that is inherent in the materials themselves. When we see them we simultaneously know what they feel like (scratchy, soft, hard) as much as we recognize them. This dual experience of the tactility and familiarity is a quality I explore while working with an abstract visual vocabulary.
