Catherine Heard is recent graduate of the new Master of Visual Studies
program at the University of Toronto (2005) and holds an undergraduate
degree from the Ontario College of Art (1990). In 2007 she was the Visiting
Artist/Scholar at the University of Calgary, where she developed works for
her upcoming exhibition at Edward Day Gallery, scheduled for November 2007.
Abject in the extreme, Heard’s monstrous bodies are meticulously sculpted
from antique fabrics, human hair and pigmented beeswax . Simultaneously
attractive and repulsive, the works delve into primal anxieties about the
body, evoking strong emotional responses.
Heard’s recent exhibitions include Votive, Centre d’Art Contemporain de
Basse Normandie, Caen (2006), Mask and Metamorphosis, Art Gallery of
Hamilton, (2003); and Gathering Shades, Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art,
Toronto (2002).
Catherine Heard is represented by Edward Day Gallery, Toronto, and her works
can be viewed on line at www.ccca.ca and www.edwarddaygallery.com
