STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My practice navigates the intersection of analogue and digital collage. Each piece begins in the tangible world, where I cut, layer, and shape paper into compositions. If the work feels unresolved in this form, I
transition into digital, allowing the piece to evolve in ways impossible within the physical realm. This shift opens up space for experimentation, introducing new layers of depth and discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its core, my work is about connection\u2014those elusive, quiet moments we all feel but rarely articulate. I\u2019m fascinated by the human form and its ability to communicate what words cannot. Each piece becomes a reflection of those shared experiences, the in-between spaces of emotion and memory that resonate deeply but often remain unspoken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, it\u2019s about capturing a fleeting feeling and translating it into an image. I hope that in viewing my work, others might recognize something familiar and that this moment of recognition fosters a quiet, shared intimacy between us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kate Partington is a British visual artist who creates both physical and digital collages. Her work often begins with hand-cut paper pieces that are digitized to explore themes of vulnerability, connection, and the human experience. Using fragmented, dreamlike compositions, she reflects on emotions such as longing and intimacy, frequently incorporating the human form to convey these sentiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kate graduated with a first-class BA in Art and Design from the University of Leeds in 2022. Notably, she was spotlighted by Dazed Digital, which highlights emerging artists, and her work has been curated in exhibitions that emphasise themes of digital and analogue intersection. Additionally, she has been involved in projects like the Young Digitals Festival, further showcasing her ability to blend creativity and community engagement .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
