我对人们的观点感兴趣:我的和其他人的,尤其是孩子的。人们为什么会以自己的方式思考?我们如何被塑造,如何改变世界?我借助拾得物和多重图像,捕捉我对各种媒体交互和动作环境的记忆。
I am interested in people’s points of view: mine and others, especially children. Why do people think the way they do? How are we shaped by and also alter our world? I explore found items and multiple images to capture my memory of the environment of interactions and actions in various media.

艺术创作是一种思考的方式,我倾向于跟着直觉工作,在目标不太明确的情况下,去进行并置和无规划的混合。过程中仍然会有变化,有时还会遗留一些意外痕迹,这也是过程的产物,显示了我的思想随着时间的流逝所发生的变化。
Making is a form of thinking and I tend to work intuitively, finding juxtapositions and unplanned mixtures without quite knowing where I am headed. Still-visible changes along the way and sometimes accidental bits left over are products of the process and show my changes of thought in the passage of time.

凯特·布罗格登出生于奥地利维也纳,在美国多地(主要在爱达荷州)长大。此后,她多次搬家,绘制出每一个地方的图像,了解当地的文化理念。这影响了她对人们如何思考以及如何发展自己独特世界观的兴趣。通过对摄影、绘画和拾得物的叠加来探索这个想法,展现出一个多面的、多姿多彩的世界。在弗吉尼亚大学获得学位后,她获得了各种工作经验并继续了自己的艺术学习,并获得了多个艺术奖项。目前,她在科威特城工作。
Kate Brogdon was born in Vienna, Austria and grew up across the United States, mainly in Idaho. She has since moved multiple times, drawing images and cultural ideas from each location. This has influenced her interest in how people think and how they develop their unique worldview. This idea is explored by layering photography, paint and found objects to represent ideas of a multifaceted, ultra-colorful world. After completing her degree at the University of Virginia, she has gained a variety of work experiences and continued her own art studies. This led to several awards in shows in Southern California. Currently she works in Kuwait City.
