Reclamation of the Body is a project that seeks to give voice to the language and experience of the body through painting, asemic writing and drawing. Experimenting with sculpting, mark-making and working on large-scale surfaces whose form is continuously changing and evolving will act as a metaphor for autonomy and freedom of expression to move. The physical experience of the body within space and the expansiveness of materials work together to give the artist the tools to process trauma through the act of making.
Kate Driscoll is an experimental drawing and painting artist from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Her practice can be seen as diaristic documentation, using abstraction, mark-making, materiality, and colour to communicate various dialogues intuitively. Recent works have explored phenomenology, asemic writing, expanded painting and sculpture hybridity She studied a Bachelor of Fine Art at RMIT and is currently completing an MFA. Kate has shown in group shows at MEJIA Gallery in 2023 and Platform Exhibitions in 2022 and was a guest artist facilitator for the RMIT Creative workshop series in 2024.
