Catherine Macdonald: A Time And Place

4 Feb - 10 Mar 2012

An exhibition of new prints and drawings by Cathrine Macdonald.

The phrase “a time and place” has a couple of meanings, first there is the literal, where it refers to a particular moment in time and a specific place, then, there is when it is used with the suffix of “for it” generally inferring that this is not the time and place for what ever activity has been taking place.

With this series of works I’m looking at what is happening around me and trying to record it in its time and place and questioning the appropriateness of the event in its context. We can’t always choose when or where things will happen. We often just have to make the best of the situations we find ourselves in. .
