Please note this episode was recorded in January 2021.
Kaitlin’s work encompasses sculpture, drawing and print making among other things. She received her Bachelor Degree in Fine Art from Norwich University of the Arts in 2011 and later received her Masters from the University of Edinburgh's 'Art, Space and Nature' programme.
Her work is concerned with our environment; through explorations in geology, ecology and the environmental humanities.
She creates large site specific sculptures as well as designing participatory projects for audiences of all ages.
In this episode we talk about how artists have had to make the leap to working online and producing digital content and the difficulties that can come with that.
We also talk about the ups and downs that lockdown has offered and how we can keep ourselves motivated.
I am fascinated by her interest in deep time and how through her work she wants to shift our perspective on time (which is generally very human-centric) to one that draws our attention the 4.5 billion year timescale that is our planet. It is her belief that this will allow us to address the nature/culture divide that has potentially led to our climate crisis.
