Gifts from the Forest 18, ink on Mylar, 25 x 19 in.
Kate Protage
While my work is rooted in the real, it's the junction between sensation and fact that interests me. My paintings exist in that grey area between representation and abstraction, where light and solid form are given equal consideration and are almost interchangeable. It's the detail of an individual shape, an expressive brush stroke, and the way everything coalesces into a series of value changes and textural rhythms that excites me.
