Architect, lecturer and artist Katherine Dewar (b. 1990 Johannesburg) is currently doing her Master of Visual Art around the feminist intersectional themes of othering, invisibility and trauma specifically experienced by mothers. Katherine grapples with these themes, working through and processing trauma by embroidering plants into resistant plastic materials which create subversive “ processing - art ” forms. The repetitive, rhythmic, suturing and puncturing into resistant material becomes a cathartic yet effortful process. Laboring through in this way relieves cyclical difficult thoughts and feelings, creating embroidery that leaves traces and evidence of the unsayable and unthinkable: they reveal the hidden and make visible the invisible .
