ENTANGLEMENT: NEW WORK BY KATE DOUGLAS

Kate Douglas fell in love with Ipswich and now resides on the banks of the Bremer River.

Her latest works in Entanglement explore how the interconnections that we view in nature mimic those we experience in our human relationships – pushing, pulling, finding balance and becoming part of a network or support system.
