Catherine Farish
|
|
The work of Catherine Farish has been described as emotionally sophisticated and provocative. Farish creates large mixed media works on paper, combining printmaking, drawing, painting and collage, using random lines and textures and deliberate markings
to form lyrical abstractions which are both sensitive and innovative.
