Kate Langrish-Smith

Kate Langrish-Smith, as an artist, explores the realms of mixed media encompassing clay, plaster, found materials, spaces, and photography. Her artistic endeavours are dedicated to a profound investigation into the materiality, form, and tactility of objects, all within the context of their intricate relationship with the human body.

Within Kate’s practice, a compelling exploration unfolds, centred on how bodies of both material and humanity conform and perform in various, often unexpected, ways.

Kate’s artistic journey is marked by a passionate pursuit of fusion, balance, and harmony within textured, haptic, and chromatic compositions and assemblages. These creations, often described as sculptural “moments,” seamlessly blur the boundaries between the temporal and the fixed. With each piece, Kate seeks to evoke a contemplative response, inviting viewers to ponder the allure of materials and shapes. Her work challenges and enriches the symbolic function and value assigned to these diverse objects while prompting a deeper examination of our complex relationships with them.
