Physically, these chairs were too small, too short and made for the right–handed. I was hunched over and twisted with hips pinched and lady–like legs closed. The posture required to contain myself in this chair parallels a defensive state of mind that I developed emotionally to help myself cope. Psychological studies show that yellow can create feelings of frustration and anger. While it is considered a cheerful color, people are more likely to lose their tempers in yellow rooms. I am interested in creating psychological portraits of spaces that substitute objects, like furniture or communion trays, for figures. These images are often drawn from my personal history, but I use implied motion and distortion to produce the sense that these objects do not function and to generate emotional context. #5-7 - silkscreen prints This piece is meant to overwhelm and burden the viewer as the public judges them for participating in or witnessing such a disrespectful act. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2238015/she is to keep silent INSTALLATION.jpg" width="670" height="502" width_o="900" height_o="675" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2238015/she is to keep silent INSTALLATION_o.jpg" data-mid="11199598" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2238015/small_ZIPES024.jpg" width="670" height="865" width_o="793" height_o="1024" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2238015/small_ZIPES024_o.jpg" data-mid="14883149" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2238015/she is to keep silent5-7.jpg" width="670" height="512" width_o="900" height_o="689" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2238015/she is to keep silent5-7_o.jpg" data-mid="11200139" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2238015/she is to keep silent.jpg" width="670" height="486" width_o="900" height_o="654" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2238015/she is to keep silent_o.jpg" data-mid="11200156" border="0" align="left"/> she is to keep silent #1-4 - ink, velum & water based ink These drawings depict chairs that are visual representations of the discomfort I felt as an adolescent.... http://helloimkate.com/Epilogue http://helloimkate.com/following/helloimkate.com/Epilogue Sun, 07 Apr 2013 13:55:04 +0000 Hello I'm Kate 5354576 Epilogue: a closing speech in a play, often delivered after the completion of the main action The culmination of my MFA career has resulted in Epilogue, a 36’ long accordion fold book that chronologically documents my experience with religion.

The smudged and blurry text continuously visible, even after turning multiple pages, is meant to reference a routine degradation of women and how these damaging opinions are ingrained into our society. Over thousands of years, men have created and maintained an enclosure of institutionalized oppression to fortify their dominations of women by using many institutions and values as vehicles of oppression, e.g. marriages, family, sexual intercourse, love, religion, prostitution, women are the victims of this oppression. -- Ti-Grace Atkinson <img src="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2870716/archipelago_6.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="1024" height_o="681" src_o="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2870716/archipelago_6_o.jpg" data-mid="14593696" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2870716/waronwomen.jpg" width="670" height="495" width_o="1024" height_o="758" src_o="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2870716/waronwomen_o.jpg" data-mid="23682181" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2870716/waronwomen2.jpg" width="670" height="489" width_o="1024" height_o="748" src_o="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2870716/waronwomen2_o.jpg" data-mid="23682183" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2870716/waronwomen1.jpg" width="670" height="472" width_o="1024" height_o="722" src_o="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/4/142112/2870716/waronwomen1_o.jpg" data-mid="23682182" border="0" align="left"/> War on Women acetone transfers on mulberry paper in a clamshell box **Accepted into the Hearts & Hands Exhibition at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln** In War... http://helloimkate.com/Subjugation http://helloimkate.com/following/helloimkate.com/Subjugation Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:46:36 +0000 Hello I'm Kate 4304210 Subjugation I create narrative prints that refer to biblical texts and religious dogma.
