Kate 0ram was born in Ireland. Her rural upbringing was a caper of gathering firewood, growing vegetables, climbing trees and playing in streams. She moved to England to achieve a Batchelor’s degree in Wood, Metal, Ceramics and Plastics in Brighton in 1991. By undertaking a Masters course, she has embarked on a quest to reintroduce the backdrop of landscape into her sculptural work. In the words of Natalia Black, painter, Kate has begun to “Recapture that joy, that sense of wonder about things, of a child.”
