Kate Reynolds makes sculptures and ceramics based around expressions of the human figure and the natural world. Her work sets out to capture the human form in movement, with her swimming or dancing figures or to create the essence of a figure or face with a simple pared outline, in it’s silhouette or gestural marks on clay.
Originally from Suffolk, Kate returned after studying at Brighton Polytechnic, BA Honours , 1980-83, 3D design, and Cardiff, MA ceramics in 1983-84. She taught ceramics and drawing at The Suffolk College, Ipswich, for 23yrs, and is currently a self-employed ceramicist/artist.
Kate’s art reflects her enjoyment of sculpting, as well as drawing and painting, which unite in decorated ceramic forms, platters and wall pieces. Her ceramics are high fired, but she also produces raku fired pieces. Sculptures for the garden or art pieces for inside the home.
Kate creates works on paper, employing print, collage, and paint, which can be colourful, playful, and continue the themes adopted in her three dimensional work.
