In connection to SICK AF, exhibiting artist Kate Campbell-Pope will guide participants through a hands on workshop.

Join Kate Campbell-Pope in a workshop exploring methods of simple wire construction, wrapping, and stitching using gauze and thread. Gauze as a material is inherently associated with cleansing, protection and encasing the body with softness. We will take an experimental play-based approach to working with these materials to create objects signifying healing. 

About the artist

Kate Campbell-Pope is a well established visual artist, currently residing in Albany, WA.

Her arts practice encompasses gallery works, community arts, public art, teaching, curating, and mentoring.

She has exhibited extensively in exhibitions locally, nationally, and internationally in Chile and Japan. Her works have been included in several national survey exhibitions such as the Tamworth Textile Triennial (2014), LoveLace (2011), and Woven Forms (2005).

Her artwork is mostly sculptural in nature, and is concerned with the relationships between materials and meaning. Kate’s work references the natural environment and our place within it, expressing the ephemerality of human life. Issues of waste and sustainability are central to her art practice, and this is reflected in choice of materials and use of found and discarded objects.

Artworks are represented in a number of public collections such as AGWA, King Edward Memorial Hospital, City of Tamworth, in addition to various private collections.
