Behind Closed Doors
Presented by: Sherida Kate
Sherida Kate is a multidisciplinary artist with an interest in drawing, painting, sculpture, jewellery and textiles. Her current practice involves incorporating fire into these disciplines.
From the age of two she was most easily amused by a piece of paper and any drawing implement, and this passion only grew throughout her years of study. She recently graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Contemporary Art.
Her interest in fire stemmed from working in Adelaide Fringe production "The Talents of Darkness" where she began learning the art of fire eating, which soon led her to exploring the use of fire in a visual arts sense. This can involve the use of flame, smoke and ash as both destructive forces and means of creation and transformation.

Bold and gripping, Kate has been able to capture the effects of such trauma that is relatable and yet also confronting. - Dina Ustovic, Mindshare
