Kathie Murphy works principally in polyester resin, a substance that allows her to make her own material with which to explore the effects of light and colour through shape and form. Resin is a plastic that starts as a liquid. At the early stage it can be coloured using special pigments, which Murphy does in a painterly way, making the work particularly individual. As well as being colourful, resin is warm, tactile and very wearable.
