Kim Sutherland

Kim Sutherland is a London based maker who combines metalwork with material research in the creation of inscribed works - wall-based meditations in metal - inspired by historical ornament and sacred artefact. Kim’s work inhabits the territory between object making and drawing through an ongoing exploration of the ancient technique of intaglio etching - the ‘bite’ of line into metal – which allows her to create the symbolically ‘charged’ surfaces that sit at the heart of her practice. With a background in traditional metalsmithing, Kim holds an MA from the Royal College of Art. She is a senior Academic with extensive teaching experience in Art and Design. In 2017 she re-established her creative practice as metalworker and material researcher, making contemplative pieces for galleries and interiors
