Continuum
Martin Browne Contemporary Sydney 2018
In May 2018, Kate Shaw presented Continuum at Martin Browne Contemporary in Sydney. This exhibition delved into themes of memory, family history, and ancestral connections to landscapes. Shaw's distinctive technique involves pouring acrylic paint and resin to craft surreal, vibrant depictions of natural scenes. The showcased works included pieces like The Grandmother – 1908 The Gorge and each reflecting personal narratives intertwined with environmental elements. Additionally, Shaw expanded her artistic expression through a high-definition video titled Continuum created in collaboration with animator Alina Shagidullina and sound designer Jimmer Sudette. This video further explored her reinterpretation of landscape art, blending the sublime with a sense of artificiality.
