About The Artwork
Relish The Drift, a solo exhibition of works by Catherine Forster, includes an ambitious compilation of 13 videos, paintings and inkjet prints. Relish the Drift captures the marriage of light and movement and water’s uncanny ability to convey allegory; in the process Forster has discovered a unique companion to video. In Golden Oldies Forster deploys the movement of water to create visual scores for Billboard hits from the 60s-80s. Filmed underwater, Drift is a poem about isolation, loss and acceptance. The illusion of light, texture and movement in Now for the Painter is an ode to R.J.W. Turner’s last seascapes. Swallow explores the sheer power of water, while H2O celebrates the union of water and light. Catherine Forster’s interests lay in the little inconsistencies and contradictions of every day life, banal moments that add up to something else. Her work induces viewers to slow down and spend time with each piece. Forster lives near water and solves her creative challenges while kayaking or walking close to shore.
