Kay Senior’s work moves between printmaking and sculpture. The works in Contemporary Geology are process-led, drawing on materials found around the industrial estate where she has a studio in southeast London. She has responded to fragments of windscreen glass, using them to make a series of embossed collagraph prints and sculptures. The textures and layers incorporating broken glass and print may reference geology in terms of ancient rock formation, but with a contemporary connection to man-made scientific processes, the urban environment, and the Anthropocene.
In the process of printmaking from glass, the plates changed form, gradually disintegrating under the pressure of the etching press, mirroring the process of transformation to be found in areas of conflict and the natural world and in states of mind during times of loss, change, healing, and growth.
