NELLY KATE — STUDIO ARTIST
Transdisciplinary practice centering access through sound, language, and the poetics of translation.
CONTENTS
STATEMENT
My work creates space for public imagination and healing through time-based media, open captions, print, installation, and performance. I focus upon cultivating ecosystems of inclusion through the lens of Queer and late-Deaf experience.
I blend
responsive technology with lo-fi mechanisms like reel-to-reel tape loops,
stop-motion animations, electronic synthesizers, and radio frequencies. These tactile materials illuminate the terrestrial and
electromagnetic phenomena which our bodies sense but cannot readily name.
I explore expanding time, breaking and remaking
meaning, and conjuring ecstatic magic.

MANIFESTO : A WIP
The message rides along the ridge of the medium.
People are not carpets; live with compassion.
Operating from holism is paramount.
Rarely is it the thought that counts.
Learning is a vital constant.
Share the light.
Stay curious.
Improvise.
Build style.
Stay rigorous.
Keep close to the ground.
Cut the banter; let the work speak for itself.
Make history, expand the lexicon.
Asymmetry can be good.
Reduce the variables.
Define value.
