Kate Timbes is an interdisciplinary artist from South Carolina whose work investigates the narrative and functions of materiality. Working primarily in sculpture, painting, and video, she weaves mediums together, carrying objects, paint, seeds, weavings and sculptural handmade paper through physical, emotional, and digital landscapes. Timbes contemplates sourcing of resources, rethinking use as an individual effort to engage in a curious ecological practice. Sewing a connection between sustainability, fashion, and craft, Kate builds wearable, handmade paper forms. Timbes has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, with recent exhibitions at the Morgan Paper Conservatory, Gemini Arts SC, Visalia Arts Center, the Richardson Family Art Gallery, and the DIS Student Hub in Copenhagen, Denmark. She also teaches papermaking workshops across North Carolina and South Carolina, passionate about sharing resources and education around craft. In addition to her studio practice, Timbes creates public artworks to engage with local communities, social histories, and urban spaces. Timbes received her BA in Studio Art from Wofford College in 2023, completed a Work-Study Fellowship at Arrowmont School of Craft in 2025, is a member of Zero Space Collective, and runs her small business, Woven Studios.
