Kat Clear, Appealing Nuisance, 10 x 10” (2016)
Relief, Pegboard and laser-etched woodblock
​
I am Kat.
I am curious and impulsive
and oddly memorable.
I am hot pink and energetic,
agitating yet sexy.
I engage with charm
and mysticism,
but it’s
awkward. Yet, reassuring.
I am sensitive and anxious,
but also
a fan. Totally obsessed.
But hopefully just honest
with keen insight.
