ABOUT THE ARTWORK

While in London this Summer, I found the Enkomi site at The British Museum, it was excavated from 1894-1896 with funding from the Turner Bequest. The archeologists unearthed many ancient rarities including gold mouth diadems and rude ceramics. I was moved to see so many objects in one place from my childhood nation, such pieces are almost inaccessible in the US and made me feel close and proud of the island of Cyprus. Using the digitized records and images taken while in London, I have been illustrating and recreating the site objects in ceramics, watercolor, and with oil on custom-cut acrylic panels.

Named The Other Art Fair - Dallas "Fair Director's Pick" Spring 2021. Cat Rigdon (b. 1990) is a painter and fiber artist based in Dallas, Texas. She grew up on the island of Cyprus, the island's strong folk art and naturalism culture is reflected in Rigdon’s work. She graduated from Texas State University in 2014 and moved to Dallas as a Decorative Arts Junior Specialist and Cataloger for Heritage Auctions. She left the auction house after a serious head injury to pursue a studio based lifestyle. Her obsessively repetitive works deal with her continuous recovery from the brain injury, the mythology of growing up on the island of Cyprus, and artifacts from being an auction catalogers. She currently is a resident at the Cedars Union and has previously been awarded the Clare DeGolyer grant though the Dallas Museum of Art.
