Cathy Carter

Cathy Carter’s work is an exploration of the relationship of individuals to bodies of water. Carter’s practice navigates our complex psychological relationship to water, through different perspectives and geographical locations, as well as exploring bodies of water as physical, cultural, and unique environmental ‘landscapes’.

Within these landscapes, there is an opportunity to reconnect emotionally with the natural world, as well as make connections with internal worlds.

Carter employs intricate digital collaging techniques, to create works of hyper reality which explore human relationships to bodies of water as unique environmental, physical and cultural landscapes. Carter’s highly constructed works offer immersive experiences, sensuous and psychologically-compelling encounters within spaces of isolation and destabilisation.

Carter graduated from AUT University in 2013 with a Master of Arts degree and has been a regular finalist in a number of leading art awards including the Parkin Drawing Prize, Molly Morpeth Canaday, Sydney HeadOn Portrait Prize, Wallace Art Awards and the Walker and Hall Prize. Carter’s work is held in a number of distinguished public, private and corporate collections including the Parliamentary Collection (in Wellington), New Zealand, the Duolun Museum of Modern Art (China) and the Art House Trust (Auckland).
