KATIE HELLON | RETURN TO THE CENTRE
Katie is a multi disciplinary process artist. Her work is experimental and encompasses drawing, installation, print and performance. There is a duality that is always present in the work, and her making processes, which she describes as ‘serious play’.
Return to the Centre (Throw Record Position), threads together many of the different strands running through her artistic practice, connecting back to some of her earliest work. In this way, they are part of an on-going series that are deeply rooted in past memories.
For Katie, there is a vital meditative element to the process that is really important and transforms it into an act of divination. In making them, she repeatedly returns to the centre – the centre of the drawing and the unconscious centre within herself. There is a moment of stillness, focus and stability before the rhythmic repetition begins again. It is an ever changing revelatory experience that Katie never tires of. They are continual line and shape drawings with no end.
About the Process…
At the beginning of each work, Katie rolls a dice to establish a set of rules. She throws the dice onto the sheet of paper where they leave indentations that track the physical process of making.
The dice then makes the drawing - it is the chance throw that directs the next move of the pen, or decides the next colour. During the performance the dice becomes an extension of Katie herself and it is not always clear how much she influences the outcome – there is total order in the process but the results are uncontrollable, a question of chance.
