Kathy King

Kathy King uses ceramics and printmaking that translates the points of view of women using narratives and humor.

She relates her own personal experience, culture and gender to her work and creates a clever, ironic and sarcastic humor that celebrates the woman.
Her preferred medium is white porcelain with black slip, so when carved into using a technique called 'sgraffito' bold illustrations emerge on the surface to tell her own stories and the stories of other women. 

I am keen to explore Sgraffito myself as it combines the two ares I am focusing on for my next project; Ceramics and print making.
