Catherine Hyland - On Assisting

Catherine Hyland is a photographer living and working in London. Her photography centres around people and their connection to the land they inhabit. Primarily landscape based, her work is rooted in notions of fabricated memory, grids, enclosures and national identity. Her work highlights humanity’s attempts to tame and transform nature, both past and present.“Even now I much prefer to be the student than the teacher. I have such a thirst to learn”Cat talks to Gem Fletcher about her development as an artist and how she fed her constant desire to learn and develop through assisting.Projects/ReferencesUniversal ExperienceLithium MiningWait And See Pudding with Patience SauceDean Maccannell – The Tourist: A New Theory of the Leisure ClassWebsite: catherinehyland.co.ukIG: @CATHYLANDRecorded in London, UKEdited by John WebbSpecial thanks to Liv SiddallMusic by Judd Greenstein – Change from AwakeDesign by Ruby Wight Hosted on Acast.
