American born Katherine Boucher Beug has been working from her studio in West Cork since 1971. The foundations of her work were established through a study of Joseph Alber’s ‘Interaction of Colour,’ a passionate dedication to drawing and consistent experimentation in private journals through writing, drawing, and collage. Persephone's Rage (Lot 14) expresses the Greek goddesses' wrath and struggle in her 'contemporary' world and offers an exploration towards healing and empowerment as one channels anger into a constructive pursuit. Meanwhile, two lithographs in this Sale (Lot 10 & 63) are informed by Seshat, the early Egyptian 'female scribe and record keeper' and goddess of writing, literature, measurement and mathematics. These works, in many ways have emerged like 'dancing calligraphy' and are informed by Seshat's responsibility to keep such records and texts, and parallel Boucher Beug's personal journals and sketchbooks steadfastly maintained throughout her career.
