As a self-taught artist, Kate Murdoch's work is primarily autobiographical and involves a journey through a lifelong collection of assorted fragments and paraphernalia drawn from her own life and from the lives of others. Kate works with found objects such as photos, fabrics and ceramics, mostly dating from the last century. Her practice is a process of selection, reshaping and placing the objects she works with in order to reinterpret them and give them a new significance. The objects we surround ourselves with are loaded with meaning, reflecting both our internal emotional world and the external image we present to others. Kate's work explores this, revealing a fascination with the passage of time and the contrast between the permanence of objects and the fragility of human existence.
