Kath Abiker’s Giclee prints belong to a series called Mythos developed from narrative motifs found in Margaret Atwood’s novella The Penelopiad. Kath is drawn to conveying themes of mythological significance and selects elements of narrative connected to women and themes of nature, supernatural phenomena, sexuality, and wisdom. The works titled in Greek refer to and translate these ideas.
Created through monotype using scraping tools for gestural marks or gathered flotsam and jetsam from beachcombing for textural and sensual qualities, they become abstract ‘scapes’ which build on symbolic connotations.
The prints end within the digital realm, with transparent or opaque digital glazes recalling silk screen and other traditional fine art printmaking techniques. They are printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper tailored for Fine Art printing which preserves and enhances depth and textural qualities.
Kath studied painting at Edinburgh College of Art and the Slade School of Art. She also has research led MA in History and Theory of Modern Art from Chelsea School of Art and Design (now part of UAL) London.
She has a broad and varied publishing and exhibition profile as well as an extensive career in academia in Kent and nationally since 2003.
