Metalsmiths #2

Katie Redford- I found this quote about Katie’s work: “Katherine Redford also uses traditional fiber techniques, but she uses metal in her obsessive weaving and stitching. Her objects, though small, have a kind of stately scale, an odd ability to make room for themselves by seeming to have already existed, before she dreamed them up. This quality of . . . what is it, a phenomenological mandate? is something that good sculpture tends to have. Such works are images of the preexisting, embodiments of a state of affairs that existed before they were made. Such a sculpture is made, apparently, to be a house for an entity that is already alive. It’s a bit uncanny, and mysterious.”  I tend to think that they’re kind of funny.
