Katherine Bull. ‘Am I Ever Alone dancing to someone else’s tune’

The Pieces That Find Us

By Katherine Bull

Main Gallery - 28.04.22 - 09.06.22

This exhibition by Katherine Bull is assembled from works by the artist spanning twenty years of practice in printmaking, performance, painting, drawing and collage. Sourced from the artist's personal collection:

Approached in the spirit of collage - a strategy that has the potential to bring both fresh potentials and uncomfortable juxtapositions - Katherine Bull reflects on the different ways that she returns to a fascination with the unresolved nature and shifting technologies of perception.

This tension between the need for resolution that predominates the artist's sense of sight and a desire for dissolution experienced through embodied awareness - speaks to her interest in the quantum entanglement of being as becoming.

 "This tension leads me to continually return to performative actions and convoluted systems of obstructing my senses while making. By drawing attention to the process of an image slipping into and out of being, I can inhabit the centre and periphery. I can be separate yet interconnected, a witness and participant, teacher and student - within an evolving spiral of learning and unlearning."
