Kate Fisher

My work is either for or about the home.

My artistic beginnings are deeply rooted in a potpourri of traditions that surround functional wares. I continue to respect and honor utilitarianism while simultaneously developing a body of sculptural forms. My work is either for or about the home. To me the home is more than a specific place or structure. It is often a feeling and/or geographic location. I am drawn to the domestic environment through personal artifacts, repetitious rituals and intimate relationships. The act of creating artwork that stems from this notion dissolves the boundaries between my home and studio. It allows me to embrace both the permanent and the ephemeral qualities of place and life. This mode of working unifies the home with the studio and creates an all-encompassing life aesthetic.
