Personal
statement:
“I am intensely motivated by
emotions, unique moments in time, adventures and
visual stimuli. Combining this
with my passion for street art alongside texture,
scrap and natural resources, I attempt to
create, in abstract form, my own
interpretations of many personal experiences and feelings. I
paint using acrylic as a
medium with textures and scrap metal in part. Utilizing
fibres, fabrics and papers,
handmade and people’s discarded waste, I like to recycle as
much as possible,
turning remnants and ‘rubbish’ into beautiful creations,
albeit dark at times, from
my own perceptions.”
Kate Cox is a Worcestershire
artist specializing in abstract painting, textiles and
paper making, with commitment towards exhibiting and
involvement in
community/recycled arts ventures.
All commissions, collaborations
and enquiries welcome.
