Kate Dunn Come, Come, Come Into My World, 2023 Acrylic, pigment, coloured pencil and pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by Verity Babbs About Kate Dunn makes paintings and environments about devotional practice and the artist's ownership of visual identity. This is felt in their grappling with the existential notion of vocational work, evidenced through repeated references to sacred spaces and Dunn's refusal of painterly categorisation. Personal experiences of dissociation and nihilism led to an inquiry around visual identity and repetitive artistic approach. This, in turn, birthed their most recent series, the collage works, in which the surface appears a fragmented montage of paintings, images and textures, but is in fact, all made of the same surface by the artist's hand. Selected solo shows include mid-morning in the scriptorium at TJ Boulting, London, Il Tabernacolo welcome to pharmakono at A+A Gallery, Venice, and SKIN OF LIGHT at SET Bermondsey, London.

This series follows a process of multiplicity, meaning unlimited stylistic approaches are embraced within each piece. The emphasis is on expansion rather than limitation, the outcome of a recent revelation in which I attempted to bring many of my artistic identities to the fore. These works emphasise the concept of image, pattern, perspective and paint, all coexisting as texture on the surface. There is no clear focus, allowing the notion of figure and ground to remain in continuous flux. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
