Cathy Carter

Carter employs intricate digital collaging techniques, to create works of hyper reality which explore human relationships to bodies of water as unique environmental, physical and cultural landscapes. Shooting, assembling, layering and manipulating photographic images, Carter’s highly constructed works offer immersive experiences, sensuous and psychologically-compelling encounters within spaces of isolation and destabilization.
