Kate Davis was selected by Dr Robert Woof to be artist-in-residence at the Wordsworth Trust in the Lake District in 2007/08; which culminated in the exhibition and publication headhearthole. It was after this experience that she began to work with the Scottish artist David Moore; and they formed ME/WE Productions in 2009. To date they have collaborated on three film and sculptural projects in the UK and abroad and are currently working on a landscape project together.
In 2010 Davis completed a large commission for Langdon Park, a new Docklands Light Railway station; working with Modus Operandi and the DLR. She worked closely with the architects and the local communities to produce three large scale-works; which have been permanently installed and integrated into the architecture of the station. These include: Whoosh a mirror-polished, stainless steel sculpture in two parts; Round Turn & Two Half Hitches, a drawing made up of steel studs embedded in the paving; and a single text work be-longing, which is installed on the underside of the bridge canopy.
Davis is currently engaged with completing a series of life-size drawings of sculptures of women depicting female emotional characteristics that have been sculpted by men over history. The series began with Bernini’s Ecstasy of St Teresa and she is currently working on Michaelangelo’s La Pieta.
