Time is the catalyst that allows art to come out of the labor that must be mustered to accomplish the task. Kat Grow presents her first solo exhibition “Terraforming Rituals” with works on paper and a sculptural installation, where she allows herself to become the conduit between the earth and art – a worker for a master that has watched since the dawn of mankind.
Grow graduated from the University of the Philippines majoring in Painting, and has joined group exhibitions at Kaida Contemporary, Artery Art Space, and Sining Kamalig, as well as displayed works at the NCCA Gallery and the Erehwon Art Center. A multidisciplinary artist, Kat has taught various workshops on charcoal, pastel, ink, watercolor, and oil painting, and has won the Sculpture Category Grand Prize Winner in the 46th Shell National Student Art Competition. In 2014 she was awarded the Artery artist-run space Mentorship Program.
Kat Grow emphasises the process as the art. Her new series presents what seems like an horological geography of mountains and terrains, creating an enigmatic yet serene landscape of artworks made of torn papers dyed with paint she produced herself.

In her debut solo exhibition, @kat.grow creates a series of artworks that showcase her handmade natural pigments. Made by pounding, sifting, and levigating soil, rocks, or material such as seeds, Kat extracts colors that evoke life, vigor, and the earth itself.
