Kate Riegler draws from the traditions of Surrealism and Folk Art to craft
riviting personal icons that record her life experiences in resonant
symbols. She assembles diverse, often aged materials and arranges them into
complex constructions. She seduces the viewer by revealing her creative
process and thus taps into the collective unconscious where symbols are
transformed from autobiographical details to universal truths.

A gifted painter as well a talented sculptor, Riegler combines both media in
objects that demand viewer interaction. Sometimes this interaction is
intellectual, as in puzzle like games where visual clues are scattered
across the composition, inviting the viewer to "solve" the mystery of the
art and thereby determining meaning. At other times, the interaction is
physical, inviting the viewer to touch and inspect the evocative forms
revealed within its richly layered surface. In both cases the knowing is
intuitive. Riegler's work tells without narrative, it implies in a visual
language rather than explaining in text.
