Kate Tucker’s practice spans painting and sculpture and regularly combines them into hybrid forms. Central to all is a drive to push at the edge of familiar forms in order to question accepted notions of what art, and the artist, should be. Tucker, in reference to her works from the past decade, will discuss the importance of orienting art practice towards enduring internal drives rather than trying to fit into an accepted rubric of an art career.
