2015 - Hampstead Heath, London, UK
This lectern was carved in Bath stone and delivered to site. On looking at the architect's drawing she broke the lectern down into more manageable pieces and hollowed the blocks out to make them lighter.
Although Katherine provides installation and stone gilding she was not contracted to do this part of the works.
