Kate Rossini’s work is about exploring aspects of her own identity using surrealist techniques to access the subconscious mind - looking inwards to mine what is hidden - exploring the juxtaposition between methodologies that impose rules & elements of chance in creating work and those freed from rational control. Themes running through her work include: otherness, the feminine & totemic, underlying meaning/subversion, colour combinations/optical effects, working in repetition for its meditative and spiritual quality – all centred around her own story and childhood memories. Spontaneity, allowing work to emerge from the process of doing, responding and letting go gives her creative permission to be bolder and more experimental. The significance and modesty of materials features in her work - most recently the use of domestic paint/building supplies - as are the use of found objects, reimagining existing work and using recyclable/sustainable resources (such as aluminium).
