In the Calder Valley it is the industrial heritage and its remains above and beneath the earth that captivate her. The use of fragmented photographic elements aid her expression of the contrast between the wildness of nature and human imprint on the land. Carefully chosen photographic and printed materials are often incorporated into the work as a representation of humanity. Together with different types of paint application a layered effect is created which reveals the depth and life of a landscape.

The landscape and at times, the climate of Calderdale, is neither serene nor tranquil. Kate was drawn to the grittiness, to the dramatic character of her surroundings.
