Katie Rowlands

My work maintains a distinct illustrative style, which thrives on the momentum and energy of different environments. By using my own, often random and humorous thought processes, and those of others against found images and materials, I choose to celebrate the fine line of work from the subconscious. Things that you think about but never say, words and situations which are often difficult to deal with find themselves in my sketchbooks, in a collection of collided thoughts.There is a supremacy of street art drifting through my sketchbooks, attaching illustrations to found objects. In addition to creating large paintings of groups of people, mostly heads and hands, words are twisted in and moving freely on top and underneath paintings and sketchbooks. These words are mostly thoughts of my own, lyrics from some of the music that has been stuck in my mind at the time or random quotes from my friends.
