Rooted in the language of abstraction, Kate Metten’s multidisciplinary practice explores the dynamic intersection of painting and ceramics. Each body of work is a meditative investigation into form, surface, and colour theory, exploring themes inspired by Modernist philosophies and a deep engagement with materiality. Handcrafted with intuitive precision and glazed with Kate's own palette of recipes derived from local materials, her ceramics embody the physicality of clay and preserve evidence of the hand and mind in motion.

Her paintings play optically employing new research in neuroscience and the therapeutic arts to reflect on our

 brain's response to visual perception.

 

 Offering forms that feel both familiar and entirely new, Kate Metten's ceramic tableware is strongly influenced by minimalist  West Coast Modernist approaches to natural materials, simplistic Bauhaus design, striving to preserve movement in the thrown form  —  each unique piece tells a story of passion and creativity.
