Kathy Hinde is an audiovisual artist whose practice embraces open methods and evolving processes. Through installations, performances and site specific experiences, she aims to nurture a deeper and more embodied connection with other species and the earth’s systems. Composed of hand-made objects, electronics and a blend of digital and analogue systems, her work represents a cross between kinetic sound sculptures and newly invented musical instruments. She frequently works in collaboration with other practitioners and scientists and often actively involves the audience in the creative process.
Press quote:“Hinde’s work is full of intellectual heft and ecological concern without ever coming across as cold or inaccessible.” Colm McAuliffe, The Quietus, on Phase Transition at Sonica, Glasgow, 2017.
