Kate Shepherd
Car Wash, 2020
Screen printed enamel on panel
50 x 42.5 inches
(GL14872)

“The reason I titled this Car Wash is that it captures looking through a windshield as though it were a painting. I made it by manipulating and recording soap and water on a blank enamel panel. The shapes don’t have obvious references to things so the liquid can call attention to the dynamic substance itself. It’s a very active painting created by an actual ‘event’ in time.” – Kate Shepherd⁠ ⁠


The making of this painting involves multiple steps: Shepherd first paints a blank enamel panel, then photographs the painting (with soap and water on the surface) and using the same enamel paint, finally screen prints this image onto a panel. Born out of this referential loop, this work evinces a dialogue with memory and the act of surveillance.⁠
