"I’m interested in unusual, naturally occurring forms and their new reading when isolated from their original surroundings. I usually work from photographs, which I have taken at angles to accentuate ambiguous forms. I’m interested in subjects, which I see as suggesting more than one thing. My drawing I a re-generation of the content of these photographs, looking for the unnatural within the natural. In some of my work, I have focused on plants that have, due to some exterior factor, formed into bizarre shapes. I’m interested in these mutated forms and what else, as material flattened to images, these might suggest. " - Kate Atkin
