Kate V Robertson is a Glasgow-based artist, completing an MA from The Glasgow School of Art in 2009. Her recent commissions for the new Barclays Campus, Clyde Place, Glasgow – has explored the illusion of 3D space experienced across 2D surfaces.
Robertson began experimenting with the materials recycled from mobile phone, tablet, and laptop screens in step with our rising dependency on such items and subsequently exhibited related works in the 2018 exhibition Divided and Yet Mutual and recently in the solo exhibition Post at Stallan-Brand Gallery, Glasgow. Robertson, like many, is drawn to the distorting and distracting quality of the optical effect, and endless promises offered from scrolling across an illuminated screen.
Her work questions our relationship to technology – particularly the devices that are discarded in the name of technological improvement set against our responsibility to the environment.
