Kate McElroy in her practice is repurposing materials to capture and  explore an ephemerality that is grounded in the reality of the everyday. These  found materials are juxtaposed with unfocused images. Blurred photographs of  indistinct layers personify the transient moment of their capture.

Multiple exposure 35 mm film printed on transparent paper,
Photographed by Tomasz Madajczak


​Materials that include glass, aluminium, and stainless steel, that possess an  innate reflective quality, are layered and anchored with threaded rod to the walls.  The materials still bear the marks and stains that allude to a former purpose. Now  there is a new use-value; becoming something else. These layers mimic the  photographic lens capturing the ambient reflections as well as the reflection of  the viewer. Holding it for a fleeting moment, this time unrecorded, existing only  for the moment of its happening.  

The artist is attempting to contain a temporality that is personified by  impermanence and change. A constant rotation that sees probability on the cusp  of a transitory present dissolving into remembrance.
