Kate Kato (Kasasagi)

Sculptor

Gladestry, Wales

I create intricate, life-sized sculptures of plants and insects, curating collections of them and building installations and dioramas which aim to document different species and encourage a curiosity in nature. I tend to view my work as a 3D record of my discoveries and experiences of the natural world. My sculptures are made using reclaimed paper, wire and other recycled materials which are carved, shaped and sometimes embroidered to bring the sculptures to life.
