Creating her works first in clay, Kathryn is able to intuitively develop and rework her sculptures until they reach their final mould and kiln firing or casting stages.
In discussing her creative methods, Kathryn states, “Creating cast glass sculptures is an intimate process, allowing me to express how I view and react to the world. Not only does it provide me with an important creative and emotional outlet, but I also love seeing other people form a connection with my work.”
In the 2010’s Kathryn left her successful career in publishing to pursue sculpture and other creative interests. In the years since, Kathryn’s work is has been exhibited around New Zealand and is held in private collections both locally and internationally. In 2020, her work Me, Myself, I was a finalist in the Molly Morpeth Canaday Awards in the 3D art category.
Parnell Gallery has represented Kathryn Bartlett since 2021.
