Constructed Paintings
Katha’s wall-hung constructions begin with space: landscape space, architectural space, spaces to walk into or pass through. Each layer reveals another dimension to explore.
Seidman chooses her found objects because they echo specific tactile and visual experiences. A stone pockmarked with ridges echoes waves sweeping the sand at low tide. Watch gears evoke stars glittering the night sky. A smooth glass globe caresses the palms of her hands, and she remembers cool, rounded beach stones under her feet. As a component of Seidman’s unfolding space, each object combines with an opening, expanding the narrative contained within the piece.
