Kate Blee is an artist internationally recognised for her work with textile. A passionate materialist and colourist, her work is dynamic – concerned with movement, forces and interactions. She has a close relationship to architectural space and to domestic and material engagement. The work is robust, tactile and active – observant of nature and rooted to a form of gestural abstraction. She allows the forces of gravity, osmosis, friction and drying so that, to a great extent the work is left to make itself. In a rejection of control, it is a co-creation, expressive of an infinite cycle of care.
