I have also realised that constantly trying to be honest is a bit of a burden, what is it to be honest in your art? Is it work that expresses your opinions? How can that be when it will always be interpreted in a myriad of ways. Surely honesty can be the ONLY way to make work, it is you making the work so how can it be anything else? I always struggled with the distance I felt between the work and now I think it is a blessing in many ways. The ability to step away from it allows me a greater perspective, the ability to destroy it without attachment if it isn’t working and it also means I can have fun, going into the studio feels like another world for me, I am no longer Kate, I feel different, I think differently and actually, this is one of the main reasons I love making work, it means I can step in to various different roles and interact with the work.
