FEELING BRIGHT BLUE
12 Aug - 9 Sept AT Knot Works

ABOUT

Kate Sims (b.1987 USA) is a multidisciplinary artist working across a variety of media. For her first solo presentation at Knot Works, the artist has created a new series of photographs exploring her relationship to the colour blue and feeling blue. The works in Feeling Bright Blue continue the artists’ exploration of beauty and joy in response to growing international environmental crises.

Alongside new photographs, the exhibition features an evolving display of portraits which will be taken throughout the duration of the exhibition. Visitors will be invited to sit for a portrait and to fill out a questionnaire exploring their feelings about living in contemporary society where impermanence, change and global crises are becoming the norm.
