Cat Auburn
Artist Statement
Cat Auburn (she/her) is an Aotearoa New Zealand artist living in Argyll, Scotland. Her art practice (sculpture, textile, film, event, and writing) focuses on how cultural heritage is constructed, reinforced, and strategically employed. Artistic ‘making’ is how Cat explores complex interrelational dynamics between ‘self’ and ‘culture’, local and global, policymaking and those subject to policy. Her projects are developed in co-production with various collaborators, including: rural and equestrian communities; textile practitioners; heritage industry workers. She enjoys developing and delivering ambitious artistic projects that support both collaborators and authenticating audiences to engage in active questioning through artistic materials and practices.
