Kathy Prest

After studying contemporary dance, Kathy became increasingly interested in the movement of the human body, and began to understand more about anatomy.
This inspired her to create sculptures using the enigmatic body of a dancer as it becomes simplified when caught in a moment of time, even when twisted in a complex shape yet still expressing the joy in the spirit and beauty of the human figure.
She has developed her nude studies by sometimes sculpting fabric and other material, which creates a dynamism and serves to distract the eye from the human form accentuating the unbridled energy of the spirit within.
Kathy believes that there is no better way to train the sculptor’s skill than traditional classical study of the nude model. With this essential knowledge in hand, the figure can then be confidently created and abstracted to an individual style.

“Passion for the human form provides inspiration that is insatiable, an endless source of pleasure and respect for such a wonderful creation. Through my sculpture I try to reach the minds and hearts of fellow human beings by freezing moments and transforming them into sensual and tactile sculptures”.
