Mixed Media Art from Katherine Brickman and Kate Mitchell ( Greedy Hen )
Greedy Hen is a multi-disciplinary, Sydney-based studio made up of artists Katherine Brickman and Kate Mitchell who together utilise a variety of traditional mediums, including collage, drawing, animation, light projection and 3D paper sculpture, to create compelling, playful pieces which “allude to unwritten fables and subtle off-kilter sinister elements lurking amongst a kinderesque beauty.” The studio is particularly sought after by musicians and Brickman and Mitchell have created albums covers, posters and music videos for acts like Megan Washington, Cloud Control, Josh Pyke, The Waifs, Florence And The Machine, Animal Collective and Clare Bowditch.
Kate Mitchell’s practice includes performance-based videos, projections and objects, drawings and conceptual offerings. Her work has consistently played with the joke and the cartooning of violence. Across many videos she performs the Disneyland impossible: cutting a hole around yourself with a saw; walking on a barrel; climbing a ladder while cutting rungs. Her performances are magical to watch, shocking and brave. In the work 9 to 5, for example, Mitchell becomes a sun dial staying out in the sun all day while time passes for her, marked by her own shadow.
