Catherine has drawn on this time of immense personal uncertainty as well as global uncertainty to imagine a changed social order, in which nature could reassert itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist Statement<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Living on a remote coastal farm near Manypeaks in the Great Southern, Catherine Higham is used to driving long distances. She perceived the road itself as a border: asphalt creating lines in the landscape. In early 2020 her partner had a catastrophic work accident. During a period when regional borders were closed, Higham frequently drove the near empty roads, crossing the checkpoint at each border, to visit her partner in hospital in Perth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higham has drawn on this time of immense personal uncertainty as well as global uncertainty to imagine a changed social order, in which nature could reassert itself. In her art practice, Higham explores what it is to be human, within living systems that converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unseen Assembly<\/strong>
Roads between our home at Manypeaks to Fiona Stanley Hospital define a 500km border separating natural and man made: mainly forest and farms, either side of asphalt. During COVID-19 lockdown, road trips to hospital were eerily quiet. There was hardly any traffic, and an absence of car wrecks and dead animals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal bones have been collected from the farm and the side of the road to suggest an eye chart, fit for the third millennium.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The message behind the work is don’t rely on what you know. Check your eyes as there are many living species with their own languages and wisdom all around us, that we may be oblivious to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
