2021 Extended media installationLittle Malaise, Weary & the Dream Spider
Little Malaise explores the premise we increasingly exist in a culture of unrealistically high expectations where malaise and inadequacy have become endemic. Crucially, it offers an opportunity to reflect on how we might transform these feelings and accept ourselves.
 
When asked what the response to her work had been, Kate shared, “it’s been really moving to hear the connections and emotions the work stirs in people.” She shared further, “it seems initially that people are drawn in by the gentle, familiar, feminine aesthetic and nostalgic sounds but quickly realise the colours and music are a veil over something more uncomfortable and uncanny at play… something worth exploring a little deeper.”
 
The exhibition can be experienced at WASPS Creative Exchange, Stormont Street, Perth PH1 5NW until 30 October 2021. Entry is free. Opening times Wednesday to Friday 10am-1pm and 2-4pm. Saturday and Sunday 1-5pm.

The film and Malaise installation was installed at SSA Annual 2022, RSA on the Mound, Princes St, Edinburgh.
