Sarah Catania

Sarah Catania draws on her own life experiences to create works that engage with trauma, loss, grief and memory. Using different mediums to explore the impact of her own psychological struggles, she reflects on the consequences of negative experiences in her own life which have impacted her. Catania uses artwork as a way to process life and give expression to inner monologue.

#30 | Is the slow wait all I remember?, 2019, linocut. 94 x 75cm. $250

In this work I explore how memories are altered over time by new, negative experiences. Is the slow wait all I remember? reflects on the overhanging dread and bleakness of memories of loved ones in their last days. These last or close to last days are much easier to recall than other happier memories with them, the memories of waiting consumes all the lifetime spent with them, making it difficult to remember anything positive.
