Cat Madden – MA/MFA

Drawing is my touch, my writing, the traces of accidents, the experience of searching, of figuring things out, of getting confused.

My process is play - the seriousness of play, the joy of play, the learning from play.

In everyday materials I seek wonder. I fuse things that don’t ‘belong’, I use things that may not last, and I place things you might (nearly) step on.

Mutability
Elusiveness
Humour
Anxiety
Joy
Confluence
a trifle
of art and life.
