Behind the Artwork:
Inspired by the spacious studio she had access to during her artist residency in Nérac, France, Katie Mawson's latest artworks explore bolder shapes and repetitions on a larger scale, reflecting a newfound sense of creative freedom. The collection dances between playful configurations and more introspective works. Colour fields of richly pigmented covers sit alongside arrangements of paler, faded cloths, reminiscent of the patina and decaying beauty of Nérac’s peeling shutters and rambling stone buildings. In more recent works, Katie introduces softer shapes running alongside the more structured geometric lines.
