Katharine Platts Artist, Producer and Technician

About me

I'm a freelance artist, project producer and technician based in Cornwall and working in the visual arts across the south west. In my arts practice I drawn upon a variety of media from photography and bookworks to sculpture and installation. I create artworks, events and experiences, with collaborations and artist-led projects forming a key part of my work. In 2023 I was commissioned by Harbour House Arts & Yoga in Kingsbridge to create The Great Turning for their community focused arts programme. I worked closely with a group of sixth formers who wanted to address a lack of intergenerational cohesion and connection to nature and environment in their local area. I am particularly excited by immersive environments, site specific projects, sustainability and collaboration. Currently I am undertaking a Level 3 in Welding. I work with arts organisations as a freelance Producer, Project Assistant and Administrator to deliver projects and events centred around art, culture and community. For example I’ve worked with Field Notes CIC since 2021 on projects including Red River: Listening to a Polluted River, with OSR Projects for Od Arts Festival 2023 in Somerset and for Back Lane West in Redruth to run their project space and artist residency programme. I've realised projects involving commissions, talks, film screenings, workshops, public walks, arts festivals and events. I'm also a Technician and Art Handler at galleries and arts festivals as well as in studio based contexts. Currently I’m a freelance gallery technician at Tate St Ives. I’ve also worked with Flamm Arts Festival in Redruth, with Blackwater Studios doing machine operated screen printing as well as more traditional screenprint when I was a technician at Bodmin College and more.
