Where: HSSB 1173
Artist Statement:
Kate Saubestre is a French-American multimedia artist who was raised as a global nomad. Her constantly changing environment influenced her into an in-flux practice, as she continues to examine how the natural and built environment are represented throughout media and culture. Her professional background includes working in theater production, video and as a visual artist alongside musicians. Kate is interested in weaving abstraction and narrative through a multidisciplinary approach, spanning from experimental animation, textile paintings, and creating prop-like sculptures which allow the viewers to physically enter Kate's world.
She is a recent graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara's MFA program in Art and is working to create through a more ecological mindset--questioning practices of production, permanence and expanding her material practice to work with post-consumer and naturally sourced materials.
