Kate is interested in the architectural and social spaces that are constructed for living, working and preservation. Her most current work encourages critical thinking surrounding archival documents, their storage, and the space they inhabit.
"Typically, the public face of the archive looks like the reading room "“generally a largish room with generous tables, comfortable chairs, less valuable documents in filing cabinets close by, and archivists and archive employees standing by to help. The stacks are rarely part of public access. By documenting the areas of the archive that we, the average citizen, are not privy to, these images give the viewers a glimpse into spaces that most would not otherwise have the opportunity to see, a peek at the vast amount of information that is available to some, and a glimpse into the systems that govern the creation, coding, organization and distribution of history."
