Kate van der Drift’s latest exhibition, Sweet and Sour


  • Sanderson Contemporary Art (map)

Book cover art by Kate van der Drift for Foxstruck and Other Collisions, which is showcased.

Excerpt from ArtNow:

Currently, Sweet and Sour sees the artist capture the physical makeup of the land and water burying unexposed film negatives into the Piako River for a period of four weeks. Over this time, the algae, bacteria, pollution and sediment in the water reacted with the film, producing clouds of vivid alchemical reactions. The end result is a camera-less image; abstract and expansive, brilliantly coloured photographs emulating celestial bodies and the beyond.
