Kate Hammersley is an interdisciplinary artist who explores what it is like to live in a world in a state of flux. She has a particular interest in materials and materiality frequently pushing materials to the limits of their capability, using and creating new combinations of media to produce works encompassing drawing, ceramics, text, installation and film. She investigates fleeting experiences and moments and whether it is possible to make these concrete. Currently she is working on an art and landscape project with a scientist from Goldsmiths, University of London, supported by Arts Council England.
