Kate Hammersley

Oxford
Interdisciplinary artist working with materials and materiality. Recent projects are concerned with the intersection between art and science.

Kate Hammersley is an interdisciplinary artist who explores what it is like to live in a world in a state of flux. She has a particular interest in materials and materiality frequently pushing materials to the limits of their capability, using and creating new combinations of media to produce works encompassing drawing, ceramics, text, installation and film.  She investigates fleeting experiences and moments and whether it is possible to make these concrete.  Currently she is working on an art and landscape project with a scientist from Goldsmiths, University of London, supported by Arts Council England.

Kate Hammersley MRSS has a BA (Hons) First Class and MA in Art and Art History from the University of Wales and is an elected Member of the Royal Society of Sculptors. She was artist-in-residence at the University of Oxford Department of Engineering Science (supported by Arts Council England). Since being selected to take part in Sotheby’s International Young Art programme she has exhibited nationally and internationally at the Royal Society of Sculptors London, the Elizabeth Foundation New York, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and the Museum of Oxford as well as many other galleries. Awards include a Presidential Fellowship from Savannah College of Art and Design USA and her work is included in public and private collections in the UK and overseas.
