Céad Míle Fáilte
(One Hundred Thousand Welcomes)
These two clay sculptures, A Beautiful Question, are part of a project I undertook during my residency at Tidal Art Centre, 2024. The project is called Comraiche, which means Sanctuary in Scottish Gaelic.
Kathryn explores and responds to emergent questions arising from lived experience. Clay, with its earthy, tactile nature, invites her to follow quiet impulses through deep embodied listening. Forms that emerge from this process are not fixed or predetermined; rather, they are shaped by intuition, reflection, and an ongoing dialogue between hands and earth, often yielding organic and surprising phenomena.
Imagery that emerges through this work, while rooted in the spirit of our times, feels as ancient as the clay itself and offers insights into how to live in a world that is in a steady and constant state of change.
