Kato Six’s artworks are the result of various techniques in which physicality and making the works herself are pivotal. The forms and materials often refer to household tasks and handicrafts such as knitting and crocheting.
She also makes works out of MDF and other hard materials, such as different types of plastic. These might be Formica or solid surface – synthetics used in the interior, often mimicking natural materials. From this domestic context, she questions our relationship with nature, using landscapes to switch foreground for background and indoors for outdoors.
