Katherine Claypole | Pareidolia: {Suite} Wellington
"I like to stitch my drawings with a needle and thread. I think it is the repetitive act of threading the needle, knotting the thread, piecing the surface, back and forth, in and out, and in and out, and over and over again. I stitch patterns that allude to a space that exists in 3 dimensions yet sit firmly within 2. My work is informed by geometry, optical illusion and the love of science fiction."
The psychological phenomena of pareidolia is the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful or familiar image in random or ambiguous visual patterns. The brain wants to make sense of the randomness, to pattern match, to find the familiar. For this exhibition, Katherine Claypole will explore this phenomena through her use of large scale hand stitched thread drawings that employ processes that are equal parts obsessive and meditative, repeating small actions, gestures, or marks until they coalesce into independent fields, flows, structures, or spaces.
