Kate MccGwire is an internationally renowned British sculptor whose practice probes the beauty inherent in duality.
She employs natural materials to explore the play of opposites at an aesthetic, intellectual and visceral level.
Growing up on the Norfolk Broads her connection with nature and fascination with birds was nurtured from an early age, with avian subjects and materials a recurring theme in her artwork.
“I gather, collate, re-use, layer, peel, burn, reveal, locate, question, duplicate, play and photograph”.
Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2004 her uncanny sculptures have been exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery (London), the Museum of Art and Design (New York), Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature (Paris) and most recently at the Venice Biennale, 2015.
