Kim Sutherland is an award winning, London-based maker who creates resonant sculptural works and intricate etchings that are imbued with soul. Her singular work exists at the meeting point of memory, material and personal narrative, often incorporating antique objects to infuse each piece with a rich patina of time. Kim’s practice spans the disciplines of metalsmithing, drawing and printmaking through an ongoing exploration of the ancient technique of intaglio etching - the ‘bite’ of line into metal – which allows her to create the symbolically ‘charged’ surfaces that sit at the heart of her work. Ancient wisdom, sacred sites, folklore , goddess traditions, meditative motifs, and contemporary vision converge into a unique language with which she tells stories that nourish the mind and elevate the spirit.
