"… Decant is undergoing a continual process of change, Kath has effectively married the process of making art with that of presenting art. So as viewers of the supposedly final work, we are privy to elements of its making… these meta-objects continue to change and disintegrate in real-time. The clay works are unfired, and through a process of pouring water though them, the artist has eloquently instigated the cycle of creation and destruction… Kath imbues the work with a narrative of the everyday and of nature with which we connect, affording us all the privilege to partake in the process of making and the transformative impact of artistic production."
