Connected – New exhibition at Art on the Quay
The new exhibition at Art on the Quay is titled “Visualizing Effect”, and is paintings by Kathy-Lee Dixon.
Kathy-Lee Dixon is a Fine Arts Graduate having completed
her BFA (Hons) at the University of Auckland, Elam School
of Fine Arts. Kathy-Lee’s art is one of disclosure, using life
events as inspiration for her creativity. Her multi-disciplinary
practice offers a range of mixed media works from drawing,
painting, textile/soft sculptures and art installation.
Kathy-Lee’s art practice questions ‘what gives a domestic
place its specificity ~ being the quality of belonging or
relating uniquely to a subject or space.’
Kathy-Lee’s interest expands into the psychology of self and
identity, investigating intransitive activities and the tensions
that occur between thought, perception and visualising
affect.
Beautiful images of nature

Tell us about what sort of preparation went into your current show?
I started planning the show the minute the title came to me. Everything seemed to fall into place from there. Nearly all the images are either completely new, or re-worked. I started a series of still-life photographs of flowers, which I hadn’t done before. I experimented with the different shades of Cyanotype, and I named the series, “Even Flowers get the Blues”. I developed a sepia colour that has an underlay of gold that I really like for my vintage-look images.
My helpers are always my faithful kitties. We work well together, and they remind me to take breaks. Otherwise, I’d work straight through days and nights.
I feel satisfied with the images I selected. I was anxious and fearful at the prospect of a solo exhibition, but as with anything else, I immersed myself in the work, and soon saw the exhibition taking shape. An artist friend said to “imagine it finished, and it will be done!” Good advice.
