Kate Tucker: A Community of Parts

Emphatically three-dimensional, humbly monolithic, and highly democratic in their form and materials, Tucker’s paintings – rendered via acrylic mediums, fragments of pre-printed fabrics, canvas, linen, Chux and cardboard, along with earthenware and slickly glazed ceramic support systems – are at once plinths, prints, collages, sculptures, installations, and frames. They are infinitely layered constellations, colliding and harmonising at impossibly close quarters.

A Community of Parts is Tucker’s first book and points to the evolution of her practice over the last decade. Featuring texts from curators Amelia Wallin and Charlotte Cornish, alongside an expansive conversation between the artist and Helen Hughes, the book comes to life with Matthew Stanton’s striking photographic documentation and Narelle Brewer’s intuitive design language.
