Catherine is an Australian artist based in Naarm (Melbourne). She makes sound work and projected video work, as well as performance lectures. Her practice interrogates the limited (and limiting) ways in which neoliberal frameworks conceptualise our relationship to time and temporality. She is interested in ways that concepts from musicology can provide fresh insights into the ecological crisis. In her performance lectures, she often uses resources and ideas taken from the history of experimental electronic music, as well as from the overanalysis and ‘misuse’ of well-known, cheesy pop songs. Catherine has exhibited at and performed in exhibitions and festivals across Australia and in Europe. She is also a multi-instrumentalist who composes electronic music.

From 2012 to 2016, Catherine collaborated with Amy Spiers to make a series of public performance artworks about the increased securitisation and policing of public space, presented across Australia and internationally, including at MUMA (Melbourne), the Museum für Neue Kunst (Freiburg, Germany), MONA FOMA (Hobart, Australia), the Royal College of Art (London) and the 2015 Vienna Biennale (Austria). Their work was nominated for Outstanding Contemporary and Experimental Performance in the 2015 Green Room Awards.

Catherine has had writing published in journals of national significance in Australia, including Disclaimer and Meanjin. She is currently a PhD candidate in the School of Art at RMIT University in Melbourne.
