Artist Statement:
Kate Murdoch’s work is created
through a process of
distillation.
Her linear abstractions are
like a prism through which can
be seen the
essence of the original
subject matter. From multiple
close-up photographs
of foliage she creates studies
which are used in the initial
stages of the paintings.
These are subsequently
discarded and the work
gradually emerges in it’s own
way.
The work communicates on two
levels. Firstly, as the
aforementioned essence
of the subject. Secondly, as
the rest of the work is
instinctive it is a means for
the subconscious to find
expression. Kandinsky is an
inspiration both aesthetically
and due to the fact that he
drew on similar concepts in
his work. He is quoted as
saying “The art work is born
from the inner necessity of
the artist in a mysterious,
enigmatic and mystic way, and
then it acquires an autonomous
life; it becomes an
independent subject animated
by a spiritual breath.”
