ABOUT KATE BOUCHER
Kate Boucher is a visual artist and writer, born in The Midlands in 1972, now living in North Wales. She studied at Chelsea School of Art in the early 1990s, graduating from West Dean College with a Master of Fine Art in 2016. She is a QEST Scholar and has received several awards. Her work has been exhibited with that of David Nash RA, Alice Kettle and Eileen Cooper RA.
"In experiencing places, we simultaneously encounter two closely related but different landscapes. The one lying beneath our feet, [...] the other is the perceived landscape, consisting of sensed and remembered accounts." Muir. R.
Kate Boucher’s work is created in response to landscapes that are in some way, transitional. These landscapes are recorded in the liminal states of twilight and daybreak, where the separation seems thinner between the real, the sensed and the remembered. She records these complex responses to her chosen landscapes through intense study, habitual practices and serial working.
Procedures created by her for each site, outline methods for recording through sketchbooks, photography and drawing.
The works are not intended to be portraits of a place but rather to capture a more universal, emotive response to landscape.
