Drawing inspiration from the vertical landscape of Central Manhattan, the architectural materials inform the use of linen wool and cotton to allude to the reflective glass and steel surfaces and the contrasting concrete and brick. This all gives a sense of uncertainty of what is real and what is reflection. The vertical selvedge edging is typical for this series of works inspired by Manhattan. Handwoven tapestry with a supplementary weft.

Katharine has created textiles for over 30 years, specialising in conventional flat wall works and smaller three-dimensional sculptural pieces. She also weaves large scale commissions at Atelier Weftfaced and West Dean Tapestry Studio. The constructively open-ended nature of the medium is at the heart of Katharine’s practice. In 2016 Katharine received the Theo Moorman Award and she has been shortlisted for the Cordis Prize in 2016 and 2019. In 2020 her work was included in the exhibition Common Thread at the New Art Centre, Wiltshire.
