A selection of paintings by British artist Katie Hackett. Hackett received her BA in Communication Design and Film from Central Saint Martins and is currently working on her Master’s in Painting at the Royal College of Art. Her practice delves into the intricate and uncanny elements of the natural world. Drawing upon distant memories, sounds, and places, Hackett reconstructs landscapes to create new worlds that sit on the border of reality. Poetic scenes sometimes suggesting time stood still; at others, motifs float freely and forms emerge. Each painting is embedded with the essence of the environment that has shaped her:
“Through responding to personal and found imagery, these thoughts serve as a visual excavation, piecing together moments that teeter on the edge of existence and blur the lines between what is real and what exists only in the recess of memory.”
