The ‘Mee Ya Hta’ building Sunlight & Broken shadows

Drawn to the shadows in the broken spaces within the ‘Mee Ya Hta’ Railway building in downtown Yangon, Kate’s aim, was to evoke something more than just the visual aspects of the derelict structure. An instinct that is perhaps rooted in her appreciation of artists such as Mark Rothko, who strive to create particular moods through their meticulous colour choices. Corridors- their cracked wooden floors aching with gaps. The floor acts as a canvas for shadows to play on and the paintings are redolent of a slow quiet melancholy of times past.
