Function critiques modern disposable culture, with each piece meticulously crafted to stand the test of time. Her studio embraces a zero-waste model cultivating recycled clay and locally sourced raw materials. She has adapted the historical process of raw material sourcing for an urban context by sourcing clay from Vancouver's many construction sites. Inspired by the natural world, Kate’s signature wheel-thrown pieces feature a colourful palette of personal glaze recipes. She uses Neodymium Earth Minerals to incorporate exploration of light and perception into glaze research. Her creations reflect a deep study of clay’s intimate, tangible qualities and its rich history’s dialogue with contemporary practices. Abstraction and intuitive construction allows a response to materials creating objects that arise as evidence of the hand and mind in motion.
