Catie Gough’s ceramics are predominantly figurative. They depict the everyday person going about their daily life, rushing for a train or simply standing in a queue. They concern the ordinary, the mundane, those moments we don’t think about. Details are picked out where normally they go unnoticed demonstrating acute observation skills. Through portraying these inconsequential moments, Gough’s ceramics are both unaffected and familiar causing both poignance and humour. It is within these small, ordinary acts that the banality of the everyday is captured and celebrated.

Catie’s work freezes moments in time, which then become special, elevated visions that surround us all the time though we are usually too busy to see them.Kate Malone
