Artist Profiles

Kate Thiel

Class of:
2008

I would say that sometimes my approach to a piece comes from seemingly arbitrary connections between two ideas, who’s union generate a new idea, sometimes my approach is more concept-heavy; having to do with a specific philosophy and questioning how to give form to those ideas, and then sometimes my approach is very intuitive and has nothing to do with anything other than myself. I don't have a formula.

"Don't be afraid to change your thought pattern about art, and always do something new that's uncomfortable. One learns the most when they are in unfamiliar territory."

What most surprised you about studying at RMCAD?

I was most suprised by the freedom given in my classes. I'm able to make what I want to make if I can justify why I'm making it.
