Kate Sellar is an accomplished textile and fibre artist with a Master of Design from AUT, completed in 2020. Since graduating from Bradford University, England, in 1993, she has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally. Inspired by the textures, colours, and patterns of her environment, Kate’s work reflects on the ways nature informs human experience. She reimagines the potential of traditional textile tools and materials, combining time-honoured techniques with unexpected elements such as bio-materials and 3D printing. This approach bridges the old and the new, ensuring the relevance of traditional methods while opening pathways to redefine the boundaries of fibre art. Through her creations, Kate invites sensory engagement and emotional connection, offering a fresh perspective on the dynamic possibilities of textiles as both medium and message.
