Studio visit: Cathie Pilkington

The artist — who is showing works at Multiplied — on rummaging through cupboards, her printmaking process, and the God-like potential of sculpture

‘The kind of works I make span from large scale accumulations of objects and installations in big spaces to very singular, small, intimate objects,’ explains sculptor Cathie Pilkington. ‘The studio is the place where all of these different pieces come together — I find it very hard to work anywhere else’.

Here, Pilkington introduces her workspace, an Aladdin’s cave of drawings, newly finished works, and found objects. A series of prints, produced in collaboration with London’s Royal Academy of Arts, represents a continuation of her practice: ‘What I’m looking for is the psychological element,’ says Pilkington, ‘that’s the logic behind these odd disparate connections.’ Works by Cathie Pilkington will feature in this year’s Multiplied 2015 at Christie’s South Kensington, 16-18 October.
