Catherine Truman’s artistic practice continuously evolves from a curiosity for anatomy and structure. ‘No surface holds’ presents objects, installation, images, film, and new works, informed by 20 years of research at the nexus of art and science.
“As an artist I have learnt that making things with my hands leaves me with much less of a sense of dislocation from the world I live in – and this I feel, is an interesting premise from which to examine the world of science,” says Truman.
