Through material-led sculpture and manipulation of pre-existent objects and space Kate Harrison’s practice considers art as a set of iterative skills, temporal forms and collective relations. Harrison is interested in challenging coercive economic powers and subtle hierarchical systems by developing a practice that is paradoxically not subsumable under the law of value in order to transcend status as a commodity. This transcension of course then becomes a commodity in itself, in a sense creating absolute commodity as a non-identity, a unique thing in a world of reproducible things highlighting and heightening a sensuous immediacy of labour.
Her practice is not something that distorts or impedes the production process as a result of external ‘interference’ but works with a space to act on intellectual decisions in a qualitatively different kind of way, the hand moves not in response to representation of an external object but in selection, arrangement, superimposition and juxtaposition of a conceptual schema to confront preexistent reality within the absurd where the capitalist value form can be contested.
