This painting explores a fragment folded to occupy space. The form submerged within a colour, layered to create a sense of spatial depth.
Kathryn Stevens’ work is informed by architectural concepts and spaces. She is interested in the ways in which we physically and imaginatively construct spaces. Our perception of space is a process through which we become aware of our environment and our relative position in the world.
Stevens’ work is an ongoing exploration of the tension between surface and spatial relationships. She begins with a working process of making ‘impromptu structures,’ miniature folded freestanding maquettes made with acrylic printing plate, not final objects but rather experiments in how an object occupies space.
