Felt Garments
Crafting wool felt by hand can be a vehicle to create garments which are both individual and sculptural. Pattern, connecting lines,
harmonic and contrasting colours are the inspiration. Wool fibre and fabrics are the tools.

Bojagi
Bojagi is an ancient, Korean technique where fabrics are pieced together to create wrapping cloths.
These wrapping cloths were used to wrap many things from the daily life of a Korean. Bojagi was also used in ceremonies.
In contemporary times, Bojagi is still made in Korea, and in other countries.
Catherine has participated in the Bojagi Biennale in South Korea several times
and has been included in the Bojagi exhibition at the MOCFA museum in San Francisco, USA 2011.

Sculpture
In her recent sculptures, "Panopeople" Catherine has expressed intrigue and beauty through figurative groupings.
The softness of the felt and the human form provide the perfect palette for expressing what we all understand - human nature.
Catherine was awarded first prize, for 'Friendship Lost and Found', at "crosspollination", Colac, Victoria in 2015
