NELLY KATE — STUDIO ARTIST
Transdisciplinary practice centering access through sound, language, and the poetics of translation.
CONTENTS
STATEMENT
My work
is about perception of place as shaped by the built environment and sound. Intersecting
Queer, Deaf, Southern, and Hispanic culture I focus upon cultivating ecosystems
of inclusion to make way for public imagination.
I blend
sophisticated responsive technology with lo-fi mechanisms like cassette tapes,
stop-motion animations, radio frequencies, Xerox prints, and electronic
synthesizers. These tactile materials illuminate the terrestrial and
electromagnetic phenomena which our bodies sense but cannot readily name.
Through
multi-sensory installation I explore expanding time, breaking and remaking
meaning, and cultivating ecstatic magic. At the core of my practice is the idea
that imagination is foundational to building the world of our dreams and that
we need as many people as possible accessing their imaginations to create
inclusive communities.
