Kate’s practice has long been a means of connecting to herself through the symmetry and beauty of natural forms. In distilling plants and landscapes to their essence, she finds order in a disordered world.

In a broader sense, the study of biocosmology reveals why natural forms centre and ground us.

Biocosmology shows life’s ability to create and maintain order is not a contradiction of the universe’s chaos, but a delicate interplay between opposing forces. This dance is crucial for comprehending the nature of life and our place in the cosmos.

Botanic structures’ mathematical underpinnings reflect universal principles governing the cosmos. These forms show the universe is not just an arbitrary collection of matter, but an organised and interdependent system.

The works in Cosmic Forms can be seen simply as meditations on order within disorder. Yet they also examine our interconnectedness with all living things – from plants, to animals, to each other.
