Katherine Clarke Langlands
is an interdisciplinary artist. Freely mixing elements of painting, sculpture, assemblage, collage, and drawing, she conducts experiments that examine color’s materiality and provoke dialogues about the sensations it elicits. Langlands uses these associations to conjure surprising combinations and ask the viewer to consider why textures, patterns, or colors which seem antagonistic harmonize when subjected to compositional techniques. Ultimately, her work seeks to arrive at deeper, preverbal resonances between color, shape, and form, between the earthly, natural, and wild, where she believes more complex perspectives toward flavor, taste, and value — especially humor — reveal themselves and draw out our less-guarded selves.
Langlands studied studio art and sociology at the University of Vermont and completed her MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is also a studio resident at the Vermont Studio Center. She lives between Rhode Island and Vermont.
