interests  and influences  on the artist
     
Mc Escher  Dutch illustrator (1898-1972) of complex multi leveled
images.  His meticulous attention to detail resulted in an easily
recognisable timeless style.  Checkerboard pots in this manner
appeal from a distance and intrigue the viewer at close range.
     
        
Order          Cyclic rythms in nature like the seasons and the
phases of the moon, dramatic wild weather patterns, maths laws
like Fibonacci, Time And Relative Dimensions in Space, yinyang, chakras.
        

Study       Considerable research can be detailed into a project if
required.  The wildflowerchess board for Kyneton Bushland Resort
featured 32 of the tiny native gems hugely enlarged, making the
identification easier for the holidaying tourists who go looking.
      

Ambigrams       Inspired by the work of John Langdon, a master
inversion specialist, Kathryn has adapted three text ideas into
mosaics, where the words interlock in a thought provoking manner or
they are mirror-imaged or even able to be read upside down.
      

Inclusions    Love of the textural relief qualities in mixed media
combinations.  Materials are included for their variations in colour,
sentiment, contrast or shape.  The sourcing and placement in a
work keeps the mosaic alive and spontaneous with much interest.
   
     
Cutting     Exploration into high definition articulation where the
infill material becomes intensely refined, in contrast to the smooth
tile background.  Computer programming ensures accurate cavities
or intricate shapes formed to then become a sculpture substrate.
