…………”you don’t have to go far away from the crowd, the party or your friends to find a quiet and beautiful place. You can lie on your back in a park or garden and just look up to see the beauty of the sky; sit on a bench and throw back your head to look up through the branches of a tree; sit on your window sill and watch the clouds drift across the moon.
Every one of these pictures I saw when I left the crowd, the gang of friends, the party just for a short while and stood alone very still and looked. And there they were. I just took the photograph”

KATKIN PRINGLE

By Nature’ refers not to the subject matter of the works, but to the manner in which they are made. The encouragement of chance means the results are undetermined; the paint inevitably acquires independence and travels by the course of nature. As gravity pulls the fluids across the surface, evaporation, chemical reactions, temperature, paint viscosity, volume and order of play, unite to form a composition that is reminiscent of the natural world and it’s landscapes – a nebula, a volcanic explosion, a crashing wave…The energy of the process, causality and the diverse results, suggest themes of flux, endlessness and organic decay.

"I like thinking with materials; you move, it moves, towards a destination you haven't envisaged. The most rewarding thing is to come to a brand new form - what the Greeks call 'poesis' you get to a point where no one has been before."

(Quote by the sculptor Tony Cragg that amounts Katkin’s thoughts)

Katkin’s interests lie in the disposition of causality, the effect that possibilities can have on human experience, and the limits and potential of human knowledge. This show, ‘By Nature’ illustrates a combination of physical presence with abstract language; a mystical world in which one searches for recognition.
