Working predominantly in painting and drawing Kaulbach interrogates assumptions of sickness, wellness and ability and the effects of absent care through the human figure. Resisting the binaries of human and non-human life they pull from the manifestations of deprivation, abundance and will to survive present in the natural world to inform the disobedient bodies of their figures. They are a winner of The Ingram Prize 2024, Freelands Painting Prize 2024, and recipients of the Goldsmiths University Neville Burston Award for Painting 2024 and Hamad Butt Memorial Prize for the academic year 2023.
