Cathy Abraham

(b 1968, South Africa. Lives and works in Cape Town )

Cathy Abraham's work reflects her belief in the intrinsic link between art and science. Using a structure of numbers and the practice of repetition; she questions the boundaries between reality; fantasy and illusion; and tries to find ways to shift perspectives. “Counting forms a fundamental part of my artistic practice; paying special attention to the numbers 9; 18 and 36. I work systematically to unlock surface meaning in the search for a deeper understanding of purpose and logic in every day occurrences.”
