Description
Framed. Acrylic on canvas. 400mm x 400mm x 20mm
ARTIST STATEMENT: This piece is based on the relationship between nature and technology - how they imitate each other. It is inspired by the loading screen of a computer, the circular motion that plays is mirrored by the ripples in the pond water and the motion of the fish swimming. I enjoy finding connections between natural systems, living organisms, and man-made mechanisms as most people view these as completely juxtaposing subjects.
Cat is currently studying Fine Art for her second year at Arts University Bournemouth. She is currently centering her practice on the topics of vulnerability and human relationships and has previously focused on themes such as insecurity, growth, and self-reflection. She is also known for her seascape paintings and life drawings. Cat typically works using mixed media such as ink, charcoal, textiles, and collage alongside her specialty - painting. In 2020 Cat won the Public Vote Prize in our Students Prize competition and she is now the recipient of the Sovereign Art Foundation Guernsey Art Bursary.
