Soft Tectonics is an architectural installation that blurs the boundary between domestic space and the body. Using found furniture, carpet remnants, wool, hair, teeth and other materials, Kate Stone imagines a home that absorbs so much of the residue of life that it is animated into a growing, living thing - a supernatural force that serves as a stand-in for the tension and uncertainty that world events bring to our personal lives and private spaces.
Kate Stone is a Brooklyn-based artist working in sculpture and animation to explore the domestic uncanny and the ways that natural and mythological forces shape our environment. Kate received a BA from Bard College and an MFA from Parsons the New School for Design. She has been awarded grants from The Tierney Fellowship, The Lotos Foundation, FST StudioProjects and Kone Foundation. She has attended residencies at NARS Foundation, Artists Alliance LES Studio Program, Kone Foundation, MASS MoCA and Mudhouse Residency in rural Greece. Her work has been exhibited at 601Artspace, bitforms, Cuchifritos Gallery, Dinner Gallery, FiveMyles, Ortega y Gasset Projects, RubberFactory, Spring Break Art Show, South Bend Museum of Art, The Museum of Broken Relationships and Transmitter Gallery, among others.
NARS Foundation Galleries are open to the public from 12pm - 5pm, Monday - Friday. Please contact info@narsfoundation.org with any other inquires.
