I KNEW YOU WOULD COME BACK TO ME
SOME MIRACLES: A DIARY
We present Kate Daudy’s lockdown reflections on the everyday miracle through a series of drawings, artworks and texts that trace their history from the ancient world
Coming out of this time of Coronavirus, during which Kate Daudy has reflected deeply on the miracles, perplexity and helplessness of the human race, I KNEW YOU WOULD COME BACK TO ME, takes an in-depth look not just at the fantastic but also at the everyday sublime.
Working across a multitude of media, including sculpture, drawing, collage, textile work, film, performance, written interventions and ceramics, Daudy has produced a body of work in the form of a narrative exploring the virtues and values that get us through the everyday.
Each work takes an experience or emotion from Daudy’s past with a visual representation. Taking a single example, Daudy references the Bayeux Tapestry image of Halley’s Comet to query our sense of nationality at this historic time by placing our creativity and resilience in context of what has gone before. Meanwhile, a multi-media collage captures nature’s miracles, LEAVES THAT FELL AND WERE CAUGHT BEFORE TOUCHING THE GROUND, brings the viewer back to a phenomenon that all might witness but don’t fully see.
