Attending to the material of attention, I create narrative driven works using the communicative potential of everyday objects, gestures, and place. Collaborations with people, literature and landscapes, form bodies of ‘research’, a kind of live correspondence in which meaning can be found in the transactional and the temporal, and where the inarticulate, the error or tension finds concrete manifestation and is recognized. Here, the delicate threads of thinking-with our world act out as a family in itself, considering care and love as a material space for knowledge-making.
I am currently living and working on Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island). If you'd like to write to me, or collaborate, contact me here catrinmenai@hotmail.co.uk
