K Blick and Kate Kuaimoku
Turning Tables
Night Café is pleased to present turning tables, a duo exhibition by K Blick and Kate Kuaimoku, bringing together painting, sculpture and performance. The exhibition explores our relationship with the natural world and the climate emergency through mythological narratives.
Kate Kuaimoku works across painting, installation, performance and sculpture, often recontextualising discarded materials to create new narratives. Her work considers the built environment, the body, cumulative histories, memory and myth. Her sculptures and installations activate the space around them, bringing different materials and histories together.
In her dynamic, abstract baroque compositions, K Blick uses quick, colourful brushstrokes and a vivid palette to reimagine mythologies from around the world. Her paintings question the idea of human superiority over animals and nature, looking at how these relationships have been shaped through stories and belief.
Both artists use myth and narrative as a way of looking at our relationship with the natural world. While K Blick approaches these questions through painting and reimagined mythologies, Kuaimoku works with materials, objects and the spaces they inhabit. Together, their works consider the ways in which stories, histories and our surroundings shape how we understand our place within the natural world.
