Kate Conrick

Ceramics

Maker Member

Kate Conrick is half of a creative art and ceramics duo with her partner Josh Cubbin, currently working together on Ngunnawal Country, Canberra. Kate balances the slow, careful practice of ceramics with more fleeting, abstract paintings - often created quickly in single sessions, when she takes over their combined art/ceramics home studio with giant canvases.

With an ever-present sense of movement across her work in both clay and paint, her work is often a compulsive and intuitive response to the Australian landscape, combining colours, perception and memory to kindle those feelings of connection to moments and place. Kate is ever striving to capture that immense and gentle awe of the world, so present in the wind, and the ground and the sky. Her work is notable for the iron-rich reds, glowing yellows and warm pinks and the expressive and gestural marks that show up on both clay and canvas.
