YOU CAN’T STOP PROGRESS / RECENT WORKS BY KATE ELDER

Thursday 25 March - Saturday 8 May 2021

Urban landscapes stripped back: Built, abandoned, disintegrating, disappearing...

Working in 3D, Kate Elder is conscious of the role that the viewer can play in "animating" an artwork. A viewer moving around a work can experience the dynamic quality of a sculpture, appreciating the changes that can occur from different viewpoints, and gradually making sense of the work though this movement.

Kate Elder completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in sculpture at Dunedin School of Art (2001), and then went on to study cabinetmaking in Spain. She spent a number of years working with furniture, before returning her focus to art - using the skills she had acquired over this period to refine her practice. Kate has work in private collections in New Zealand and internationally, and has been a finalist in the Wallace Art Awards (2017) and the Waiheke Small Sculpture Prize (2017, 2018). She currently lives in Dunedin.
