Cultivator is pleased to feature Kate Ingold for our inaugural exhibit in our Chicago exhibition space.
Kate Ingold will be exhibiting pieces from her "Damaged Goods_Small Repairs" series addressing issues of disintegration, tenderness, and the body. Included are several hand manipulated photographs of taxidermied animals in dioramas, broken figurines, and cracked pavements,that she scratches delicate circular patterns or stitches fine threads across.Ingold sources genuinely damaged pieces, then mends them, as with her antique thread-bare mourning quilts. She methodically hand stitches metallic threads in a slow pattern across the preexisting patchwork.
Kate Ingold is a visual artist and poet. She received her BA in English-Rhetoric with a minor in Visual Art from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and her MFA in Studio Writing (Image/Text) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She was awarded an Illinois Arts Council Artist Fellowship Finalist Award in 2009, the Poetry Society of America’s National Chapbook Fellowship in 2007, and a CAAP Grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs in 2001. Ingold’s poetry chapbook, Dream of Water, was published by the Poetry Society of America in 2008. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Fisher Museum of Art and the Illinois State Museum. She was represented by the Roy Boyd Gallery in Chicago until its closing in fall 2014.
