While Atlanta-based visual artist, Caitlin Bates received her BFA in Photography from SCAD, she believes that “sometimes limiting one’s artwork to a specific medium constricts an artist from growing while deconstructing the flow of ideas and thought processes.”
Her project titled, Growth, Destruction, Rebirth I, reveals an idealized, clean, fibrous anatomy infused with nature.

Growth, Destruction, Rebirth I
CAiTLiN BATES
I am fascinated by how our bodies function, both physically and mentally, yet still have a hard time understanding simple aspects of life. By viewing our complex structures through a quirky child-like mentality, specifically with my series Growth, Destruction, Rebirth I, I am trying to make and understand those connections between myself and of nature....
Critique
I would love to get some constructive or thoughtful feedback on my chair project so far. Making art is useless without discussion and opinions. Right?
What is this chair project thing?
For those who were curious about what I'm currently working on, it's a chair! Duh, right? I am one of several artists participating in the Chairish The Future gala this March in Atlanta. From the website, "Chairish is a unique gala and auction that challenges talented artists and design firms to create pieces of art from household furniture for sale at the event." I picked up a lonely chair from The Furniture Bank of Atlanta, for whom the gala is benefiting, and got straight to work on turning it into a sculptural piece. What exactly am I doing with it? I have no idea. Yet. I'm working on it. I want it to be along the same lines as the pieces I had up at Beep Beep last month. I have some hands in the making, and I have use an ungodly amount of yarn and plaster. Oh, how my lungs are filled with plaster dust. Want to keep following my progress without having to look at my blog? Follow me on instagram: @kindaslightly. Everything's tagged, #chairproject.
You guys. I finished. I am delirious and loopy and I'm sure there's a lot wrong with it. But I am done. For now?
