Kate Fisher
My work is domestic art: it is either for or about the home.
As an artist and story collector, my goal is to make meaningful connections with others through my work. At the root of this practice is my observation that objects have the ability to create connections, both implicit and explicit, between humans. I am drawn to the domestic environment through personal artifacts, repetitious rituals, intimate relationships, and the mundane. I collect inspiration from the ever-changing landscape inside my house. It is an endless source of ideas for forms, subject matter, and surface treatment. Since the birth of my two children, my domestic landscape has been radically altered. My most recent works analyze and celebrate this transformed space. I respond to the haphazard child detritus and paraphernalia I now find commonplace and practice self-preservation by finding moments of beauty in the burden of unpaid domestic labor.
