The impetus for much of Kathryn Stevens’ work comes from a particular fascination with architectural structures and engineering.

These structures with their distinctive facades not only contain and house our human physical form, but also punctuate our physical orientation as we pass through, around and amongst them. Implicated in the passage through these architecturally constructed landscapes are their appearance and aesthetic attributes. The weight, height, mass and texture of these structures infiltrate our senses and affect the human subject in a variety of ways.

These effects may overwhelm, surprise or distract us from the realities of everyday life, and it is this phenomenon that Stevens actively seeks and exploits within her practice as a painter.
