Cathy explores the work of artist Eileen MacDonagh and her use of tangible materials: “I really admire the attention to working with physical materials in Eileen’s stone practice; it echoes an earlier time when art was more deeply connected to the material world. In contemporary art, there has been a move, and I would say a dangerous loss of connection to the fabric of material life—much contemporary work has moved to virtual digital methods and often ignores our dependence and influence on the litho and biospheres.”
