*Please note two corrections to episode 30: Kate Dodd referenced the artwork “Tilted Arc” but incorrectly attributed it to Robert Smithson rather than its creator, Richard Serra. She also referenced an exhibit put on by Stand 4 Gallery, which is in Bay Ridge NY, rather than Bayonne, NJ.

Please enjoy my conversation with Kate Dodd.

Kate is obsessed with excess, with the unwanted, the discarded, and the underutilized. In her work, she seeks to repurpose items that no longer have an essential use. Once they were manufactured in great quantities; then they were abandoned, superfluous, castoff. Kate’s starting point is the materials. She has said, “I have always had a tremendous fascination with materials and making. So when I see materials being disposed of without much thought … I see both treasure and mistreatment, and feel an immediate need to resurrect the neglected and disrespected.”
