I have wanted to have something in an exhibition for so long… Frustrated artist here! So now, thanks to Blue Mountains City Council I do! Waste to Art is the exhibition and it is on at Event Horizons Gallery, 186 Bathurst Rd Katoomba. Very exciting and the art there is amazing, if anyone is close enough to go and check it out!
Here is my entry:
Texture and Flow
This is an exhibition that shows the use of materials that would have gone into landfill which have instead been turned into artworks.
I have entered with this water textures artwork. I have framed my photos on a piece of corrugated iron and screwed them onto a piece of old wood. I liked the way that the shape of the corrugated iron echoed the flow of the water texture photos. The central panel is the collection of water texture photos which I used.
Front and side plus the water texture photos used.

Congratulations, Catherine, looks good! hope it goes well for you!
Catherine Davis:
Thank you so much Peter! It is a start and should encourage me to keep going! I am experimenting with urban and texture photos, displayed together in groups of theme or colour, in strips or tiled works like a mosaic or patchwork quilt. I am also experimenting with then framing them on recycled materials reminiscent of the photos themselves. It is a bit out there, moving away from the traditional but it is fun to be creative! Would love my own exhibition one day! Have you had any?

Awesome. I love the presentation of you work. Very inspirational and great to see you thinking green and outside the box. Congrats.
Catherine Davis:
Thank you so much Sarah! I am having fun thinking outside the box! I went to the tip last week and came back with some really interesting pieces of wood, as that is all you are allowed to take. Now I have a very full brain thinking of where I can go with them! The whole Waste to Art exhibition was really inspirational. There was a fully working mechanical arm and a dress sewn from padded triangles of shopping bags complete with a bag ruffle, it was awesome! Beautiful and innovative… this path is a slight detour from traditional photography, and very exciting!
