Over the last year Kate has fallen in love with printmaking, she is currently working on a handmade book called GREAT LIVES OF THE ARTISTS, inspired by the cult of the celebrity artist from Vasari's Lives of the Great Artists to the contemporary fascination with the drunken antics of the YBAs. It is an exploration of the historical role of printmaking and the differences between conceptual art and craft.
