Kate Street is an established contemporary visual artist working from Southsea, England. Street’s work has been exhibited across the UK and internationally, including the Torrance Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Rome, Thameside Studios, and Somerset House, London. Her work allows for the vestige of artefacts and related imagery to lead to the formation of new imagery and objects. Drawing upon figuration, landscape and cultivation, her work manifests through collage and sculpture.

"The Offering" apron, especially made in collaboration with Assembly Line, is a viscerally rich and arresting object of faux domesticity; a subversion of anti-feminist tropes conjoining women and the kitchen. The snake, a vaginal and phallic image in one, presides over 28 hanging beads alluding to the days of the menstrual cycle. With further connotations to counting the prayers of the Rosary, and pseudo-militaristic decoration the edition has been mindfully constructed in defiance of recent global events surrounding the issue of abortion. As such, The Offering is a forceful, poetic & beautiful indictment of retrograde politicking over a woman’s right to her own corporal decisions.
20% of the purchase price for each apron will be donated to the Abortion Support Network.'
