Whilst the world may at times be in a state of flux, Catherine Parker’s work stands as an affirmation of the constant beauty within nature and humanity. Often eschewing a focal point, her mixed media paintings explore the intricacies within the vastness of physical and spiritual space, depicting decentralised worlds where all things are interconnected.
Bound together on the periphery and surrounded by highly detailed fragments along the outer edges of the canvas, each waits to be intuitively contemplated into reality. Parker’s works remind us to pay attention to the wonders of the world – not necessarily the marvels but specifically the things that exist around us and within us.
