Kate Wallace

Kate Wallace’s solo exhibition ‘A View Through a Window’ will open at the gallery on Wednesday 5th of March 6-9pm.

Within her diminutive paintings Kate Wallace works with depictions of interior and natural environments to explore aspects of memory, solitude, and impermanence. Developing from photographs captured in periods of stillness and transit, her paintings belong to places both personal and communal, be it a small detail of a place once lived in, or a window unconsciously passed by daily. Utilizing techniques such as manipulations of light, scale, repetition and obscuring, Wallace translates an essence of our psychological construction of the past through attention to the quiet details that compose our intimate reality, counter to the accelerated and frenetic pace of contemporary experience.
