Kate Harding

Installation Artist

In my most recent exhibition I have explored themes surrounding contemporary spirituality and community. I use traditional imagery and techniques including gilding and optical illusionary devices, particularly the camera obscura. These installations consciously refer to painting through their composition and objects utilised. The role of the artist in contemporay culture has become a focus for me, interrogating the subjective in relation to the objective, with a series of "ICON" installations. Examples of these are seen on this site. I have also developed through working with manufactured white bread as a material, a totally unique printing process. The preserved and then printed slices become tiles with sections of an overall image forming a wall based mosaic. The 'Host' was exhibited at Winchester Cathedral celebrating the religious community at the time of the Hyde Abbey.
