2011 - Croydon, London, UK.
Katherine was provided with an architect's sketch for a new stone altar. The original architects suggestion was for it to be made in one solid stone block. Katherine gave advice on using smaller stones but cladded onto a concrete substructure. She designed this out of a hollow concrete blocks, pinned together and filled with cement.
She also had the idea for making the stones appear to be floating, achieved by hiding the stone installation pins and refraining from mortaring the stone joints.
She provided all carving, stones, delivery and installing. She also installed and provided the concrete substructure.
