Solo Show → Opaline Vector at Rubicon ARI


This body of work is titled after Opaline- an iridescent, milky glass developed in 17th Century Italy, which was known to cause iris reflexes. Opaline Vector invites the viewer to make inquiry into their own perception through the interaction of colour. 

Colour is perceived temporally, and relative to how one is moving through the space; a dance between pigment, light, and one’s own sensuous registration occurs.  Representation of landscapes, architecture, grids, and gestural figuration are recurring in her oeuvre. The choreography of these themes and Katie’s use of pigment and color theory invite the viewer toward a deeper analysis of perception and explorations of the psyche.
