Inside Outside Sculpture Plinth
Kate Riley Sheer | Until 21 October 2024
individually cut cardboard, PVA
New to the Inside Outside plinth is Sheer by Kate Riley. Kate is a local artist who creates sculptures and objects from found and recycled materials, predominantly items salvaged from hard rubbish collections. She transforms these materials into what she calls 'components,' which are playfully assembled and rearranged over time until the perfect 'fit' is discovered. Her work often carries a whimsical quality, embodying the concept of making something out of nothing. By using techniques like gluing, crocheting, and sewing—methods not traditionally linked to fine art—Kate challenges conventional boundaries, inviting viewers to reconsider the artistic potential of everyday objects. Kate was recently a finalist in the North Sydney Art Prize.
Sheer is made using hundreds of individually cut and glued cardboard pieces.
Visit the Inside Outside Sculpture Plinth in Ted Mack Civic Park day or night.
