Kate Rohde presents: 'Crafting art and design'

Thoughts on the various aspects of 'craft' in developing a fine art and design practice, through technique and development of ideas.

KATE ROHDE completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2001. Since then she has become known for her jewellery and sculptural object based practice, nowadays working predominately with resin and hand casting techniques. Recent exhibitions include Luminous Realms, a solo survey of her work since 2006 at Craft, Magic Object; the 2016 Biennial of Australian Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia, 21st Century Heide at Heide Museum of Modern Art, and Obsessed: Compelled to make at the Australian Design Centre, which will tour several venues around Australia from 2018 – 2021. In 2015 she was a finalist in the Rigg Design Prize at the National Gallery of Victoria. Her work is held in the collections of several institutions including the National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of South Australia and Bendigo Art Gallery.
