What if history wasn’t just something we study—but something we step into?
Have you ever stepped into someone else’s shoes—literally? That’s what came to mind when I first saw Kate Clark’s ceramic work. It wasn’t just about material—it was about perspective. Her work sparked deeper questions about empathy, compassion, and the subjectivity of the female form in art and history. What happens when we look at the past through someone else’s eyes instead of our own assumptions?
In this episode of The Female Frequency Podcast, Kate takes us into her world where relics of the past meet contemporary storytelling. Her motto, “In dust we trust,” honors what’s been discarded and reconsidered. Whether reinterpreting the Venus of Willendorf or embedding forgotten objects into her Seattle Convention Center commission, Kate shows us that art is a time capsule, and artists are its keepers.
We also dive into the business of being an artist—negotiating public art contracts, managing large projects, and navigating the post-pandemic art world. Kate’s blend of creative vision, entrepreneurial strategy and storytelling is a blueprint for artists making art a career today.
In this episode, we discuss:
✨ How Kate’s public art redefines artifacts in storytelling.
✨ The challenges of landing and negotiating major public art commissions.
✨ The reality of running an art business—from materials to scaling projects.
