Artist Bio
Catherine Kernan received her MFA from University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1980. Kernan is located in Massachusetts. She is an extremely accomplished printmaker, she has said of her recent work,
"In recent work I ask the viewer to re-assemble fragments of information by summoning memories of moving through a dynamic landscape. Overlays and repetitions of images signal the compression of time into simultaneous space, past, current, and anticipated.
Working at the interface between printmaking and painting, I collaborate with the unexpected, surprise and chance, thus ceding a measure of control but always responding to results. The search has become as engaging as the destination so I never print an image the same way twice, uniting concept and process in the repetitions, variations, and accumulations that are part of improvisatory printmaking.
Often now I can look at my artwork and recognize it as true to my experience of space and time, movement and memory. The process is a profound "be here now" experience."
She has work in the permanent collections of The Boston Museum of Fine Art, The National Gallery in Washington D.C., and The Library of Congress to name a few.
