Cath Kerr

ARTIST STATEMENT

With a deep affection for the land around her, and the life that inhabits it, Cath Kerr's work is primarily focused on Australian native flora and expressed in various derivations, from still life to abstraction. The raw beauty and indomitable spirit of these plants, thriving against all odds in our harsh climate, serve as my primary inspiration. Each piece is a tribute to grit and resilience, reflecting the ability to flourish in unforgiving environments.

Cath’s pieces have an open, bold, progressive style influenced by her design career and can involve the viewer participating in the outcome.

“In my work, I aim to capture the interplay between fragility and endurance. I explore positive and negative space in a push and pull process, seeing the subject as shapes and form. These elements are integral to my work, as I separate and reassemble them to create new interpretations.”

Cath is passionate about artistic integrity, authenticity, originality and the vibrancy that the right piece of art can imbue in a room. Her work is housed in collections throughout Australia, Asia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Europe.
