About the Item
The experience of nature and daily life feed my work. The materials I use are from the natural world: beeswax and cotton thread. The threads are untwined and dyed with things I consume like spices, foods, coffee, wine, etc. This process creates an intimacy with my material.
The laborious un-twining of the threads is an act of rewinding time. A going back to 'origin'.
The threads become the lines I draw with. I embed these threads into beeswax-coated MDF panels to create varying experiences of landscape. The viewer, as I am, is either experiencing it up close or from a distance; zoomed in or zoomed out.
Katey Berry was born and raised in Westchester, NY. At 17 she moved to New York City to study drawing and painting at the Art Student's League of New York, followed by further studies in studio art and philosophy at Hunter College C.U.N.Y. In her late twenties, she moved to Sante Fe, NM where her paintings and sculptures have evolved and reflected her environment of expansive landscapes over the past 30 years. Her work has been shown in galleries in Philadelphia, South Carolina, Taos, New York, and Santa Fe. She has had work in The Mobile Museum of Art in Alabama and the Harwood Museum of Art in Taos.
Her work reflects her daily life of walking in the Pecos wilderness. Her landscape paintings are 'built' by laying and embedding untwined, hand-dyed cotton thread into beeswax. The paintings have a sculptural and braille-like quality. You will want to run your fingers across them. Her cocoons; spaces to hold the idea of metamorphosis are made with one continuous thread coated in tinted beeswax. Katey's processes and visual language are physical, direct, primal, and precise.
