Catherine Pilgrim’s recent works revolve around narratives of women from history. Exploring the murky ground of historical sources, Pilgrim builds imagery suggestive of missing details and acknowledging the cultural myopia of early settlers.

Imagination is required for any reading of history, especially when reviewing from a current standpoint where so much seems missing.

Meticulous, considered drawing is the basis for Catherine Pilgrim’s practice including lithographs, drawings and occasionally textiles – with absence and contemporary still life influencing the subject matter.

Catherine has exhibited widely since 1994, when she returned to Australia after studying lithography and drawing in Washington DC, USA. In 2011 Catherine completed her MFA (Research) at Monash University.

Catherine’s works are held in public and private collections including the National Gallery of Australia, NAB, Australian War Memorial and Castlemaine Art Museum.
