“Edging Still”
Cate Consandine
2 Apr → 17 Apr 2004

My appliqué is a wet unbroken line, a circle, lipstick pink, which edges like insomnia, and holds in its arena, life still.

After receiving a BFA in Sculpture from VCA in 2000, Cate Consandine went on to complete Honours at Sydney College of the Arts in 2001. Since June 2002 she has been a studio artist at Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces. Cate is an installation artist who has been exploring the poetics of desire, as played out between the body and the architecture of cinema. Her work employs spatial intervention, action, and the specific placement of objects to crystalise edges that connect the accoutrement of desire to felt experience. Recent solo exhibitions include Prow: Stalking the Safety Zone, First Site; fall out, Studio 12, Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces; window lash, Bus. Recent Collaborations include Wayfinder at Conical with sound artist Nick Murray.

The artist would like to acknowledge the generous support and assistance of Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces.
