......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Mitt konstnärliga arbete utgår från platser som fångat mitt intresse, naturhistoriska händelser, vetenskapliga hypoteser och/eller med känslomässig laddning. Jag arbetar med gestaltningsuppdrag där platsen blir utgångspunkt och materialet följer processen. Arbetsprocessen inkluderar ofta vatten i någon form, fysiskt, mentalt, flyktigt, fast, flytande. I mina storskaliga teckningsinstallationer får kol på papper reagera med vatten likt vid en fotografisk framkallningsprocess under olika förutsättningar och på olika platser. I mina gestaltningsverk inkluderar jag pågående arbetsprocesser och materialundersökningar som vävs samman med platsen, dess struktur, och historia. Jag arbetar med kontraster där känslan i materialet kan skifta mellan hårt och mjukt uttryck, fast/flytande, ljus/mörker, en lek mellan nivåer och lager, ofta med geometriska och interaktiva inslag.

Catrin Andersson

......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Just like nature itself, Catrin Andersson's art consists of a visual surface with a substantial underlying depth of diverse material filled with history and processes. A surface changed over time, a frozen moment in an ever-changing process: Andersson digs in the layers of history much like an archaeologist and examines developments in the crusts of earth like a geologist. She uses information from scientific studies and presents her research and aestheticizes surveys with different material. The result is beautiful, powerful and mysterious. To penetrate the visual exterior of Andersson's art calls for scrutiny of process and material, just as science is needed to understand how the workings of nature and its temporal changes.
