Didymus Mountain w/ Cat Fooks: 8th August, 2025

Cat Fooks is a Tāmaki based, material led painter who immerses herself within the world of her studio. In which Cat no longer views it as just a physical space but rather its own dimension built up of paint and clutter that is crucial to the making of the works. 

Her current exhibition Didymus Mountain presents a series of vibrant and playful paintings. Little worlds of abstract colour and texture that seem to rebel against the typical convention of the frame. Engulfing the frame itself in a multitude of rich layers of paint, rejecting this ‘framing’ and instead bringing it into the world of the painting itself. Eliminating this space between the painting and the space of the world.

Maya had a chat with Cat about her overall practice and the show.
