Deep See: A Collaborative Installation
At Dayton Art Institute
Through April 10, 2016
As Yeck Artist in Residence at the Dayton Institute of Art, Kate Kern worked with over 100 participants of all ages to produce this immersive collaborative installation. Kate and assistant artist Jess Williams worked with two core groups of Dayton Public School students and teachers, from Valerie Pre-K and Cleveland Pre-K Schools for more than 5 weeks to create the drawings and images on the walls and floor of the installation. Families, individuals, and school groups came in for one-time workshops to build elements of "Eye Chandeliers" suspended from the ceiling.

Second Sight is Here!
Join me for this Real-Time Online Project
Second Sight is a 24-month, real-time, blog-based project to revisit, reconnect, and share 30+ years of drawing, works on paper, artists’ books and installations.
Barring unpredictable future events of fire, flood, political upheaval, or other calamity, my work will outlive me. Storing this work and records about this work takes up a significant portion of my studio just as thinking about the future of this work takes up significant personal psychic space.
The journey has begun!
