Yes, this one took a while to create but I was talking about how long it took me to update the blog! Moving on, the 2nd installment of my MACHINE series for Viewpoints:
“Bevel Gears”
60 x 30 in

Through this series, I’m looking for objects & systems that work as designed. Like this hand mixer, it has a specific function that hasn’t changed since it was invented. There’s something comforting about that.
My ongoing theme is about machines, especially the time-tested ones. The mechanisms may be simple or complex, but their design doesn’t change much over decades or centuries. They will last for as long as the materials they’re made from last. They can endure through generations if properly maintained.

Your work is so amazing Kate! When are you going to give us a book on your method?!? Maybe let us know about your teaching schedule…? Thanks so much for all the inspiration!
Thank you Karoline! Classes and workshops are on hold for now, due to the pandemic. But I will definitely post an update when I start again. Thanks again for the nice compliments. Hope you have a lovely day,
Kate
Hi Karoline!
I know it’s been a while since you asked, but I am setting up a teaching studio in Oxford, CT. I hope to begin classes later this summer. Would that be something you are interested in?
Hope you’re doing well and finding time for creative projects!
Take care,
~Kate
