About
Wicker Woman – Artists’ Statement
This work is about painting. The materiality of paint.
The perversity of finding technique and then turning your back on it. The rejection of sophistication.
The knowledge that you are painting yourself no matter how abstract and coolly lost you are in the process.
Being a menopausal, depressive, bisexual, mother married to a man I love, living in a 1970’s bungalow off an A Road in South Wales. Suburban misogyny, boredom, magic, nihilism and compassion. The comfort and horror of the domestic landscape and the subversion of the familiar like a word repeated over and over that begins to lose its meaning.
Kate Shooter, August 2022
