"Through the Unknown, Remembered Gate"
by Kim Sutherland
It’s a rich process of exploring exquisitely detailed imagery and creating new sentinel guardianfigures to watch over you. Combining protective symbolism that makes reference to ancient and contemporary dialogues with the cosmos – all as a prompt for contemplative focus.
Dark finish to emphasise the brass geometry and
22ct gilded details. Set within an antique oak box,
with a beautifully aged patina, which has been
deconstructed and reconstructed into an expanded triptych. A magical and transformative focal point thatis intended to instil a sense of deep peace to a room.

KIM SUTHERLAND is an award winning, London-based artist whose work is a synthesis of tradition and personal narrative, often incorporating antique objects to infuse each piece with a rich patina of time. Kim’s practice spans the disciplines of metalwork, drawing and printmaking 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 work.
