Katy Sudderick
Katy Sudderick is currently studying at Central St Martins; her paintings and works on paper evolve from medical images and artifacts related to the human form which she asks a multiplicity of other individuals (always male) to draw. 

The images created by others are redrawn onto canvas and abstracted into form usually involving pattern. The collaborative element is then further exaggerated when the others involved draw, paint and stitch on top of her work. This process can be repeated several times within a single piece.

The collaborators are always male and the work always involves stitch providing juxtaposition between men and sewing. The number of individuals involved in collaboration varies between one and thirty in anyone piece although the numbers in the cohort of research are variable. Recent work has involved 355 boys from a prep school and 25 surgeons.
 
The images are created in mixed media from varying paints including enamel and gloss paint: varying threads from silk, linen and very fine lead. Colours are kept to a minimum quite deliberately in order to exaggerate the quality of line which Sudderick considers essential to the images and which should remain very apparent. Her work is held in public and private collections, including the V&A.
