Kate Steciw's practice is defined by a continual effort to cope with the perceptual crisis precipitated by image overload. There is a primal desire to make a mark, to assert herself somewhere in the unending stream of image data generated, shared or stored both personally and publicly. She is drawn to forgotten, authorless or "weak" images; the stock image used to signify anything from foot health to dish soap, images from Facebook Marketplace and special interest groups and the vast stores of her own personal images saved and resaved for reasons unknown over decades. Whether she's working with editing software or by hand, Steciw layers and juxtaposes seemingly disparate images; to create pieces she refers to as "composites". She intervenes (gently or aggressively, physically or digitally) to liberate herself, and the image from a prescribed context or convention and to propose new possibilities for interaction both between images as well as between images and their consumers/viewers.
