Kansas City, Missouri-based artist Kate Clements will be in conversation with Linnea Seidling, the CAT’s Assistant Curator of Glass. Starting at 6:00pm, learn more about Clements and her work featured in the CAT’s exhibition, Meet Me in the Forest, and have the opportunity to see the exhibition afterward.
Kate Clements constructs delicate and ornate large scale paintings and installations comprised of kiln fused glass panels. Working with frit, a type of crushed glass, she sifts, scatters, and pushes the sugar-like substance on a kiln shelf to form dimensional drawings. The wafer-thin panels reference naturalistic designs and floral motifs that she uses to explore ideas of beauty, taste, and impermanence. Utilizing the seductive qualities of glass, Clements draws the viewer in, but upon further inspection the work reflects a nervous tension and precariousness that is palpable.
