Ceramic artist Kate Fitzharris uses her sculptural installations to express her observations of domestic life. Usually comprising fired clay and recycled fibre, her wall-mounted installations have a fragile and vulnerable appearance, offset by their character of playfulness and whimsy. Fitzharris's work continues to develop along new ideas embracing a darker edge to these intimate creatures. Since graduating from the Otago Polytechnic School of Art Fitzharris has earned a strong reputation as an original and accomplished ceramicist.
