Brief Bio Catherine’s multidisciplinary practice addresses communication through voice, language and the interplay between hearing/listening, seeing/reading. Using field recording, digital imaging and the spoken/written word she explores an expanded approach to language within and across species through a framework of everyday experience. The artworks are social in nature and frequently involve collaboration and participation with other artists and with audiences. They take several forms including texts/scores, soundworks, installations, performance, readings, external public artworks, radio and artists’ books. Brought up in London UK she studied at Wimbledon School of Art and East London University, and arrived in Melbourne Australia as visiting artist through Gertrude Contemporary in the 1990s. Her work has been exhibited and performed regularly both within Australia and internationally since the 90s. She teaches at Swinburne University, Melbourne (MA Writing) and holds a practice led PhD (Fine Art) through RMIT University, Melbourne.
