Kate Belton

Place of birth Wrexham, Wales
Country of residence United Kingdom

Kate Belton photographs her highly coloured reconstructions of interiors, exploring the blurred line between painting and photography. Akin to film stills, the photographs present humorous (but often tragic) scenes, in which the viewer is invited to psychologically unravel a suggested narrative. Belton is inspired by the traces of activities that suggest unfinished stories.Qualifications
