CATHRINE WHITED
Cathrine Whited’s subjects range from household objects to food and fictional characters. Her work is a way of processing, understanding, and collecting elements of contemporary visual culture that are commonly overlooked.
Each of Cathrine’s renderings typically depict one character or unit and is labeled akin to a scientific journal. When one drawing is complete, it is checked off her list. Cataloging something like a slice of cheese, for instance, can be humorous at first but viewing Cathrine’s collections together tells a different story. One in which she is the arbiter of meaning and aesthetics, drawing from tv shows, consumer items, and the people in her life.

“We first saw Cathrine Whited’s work in Visionaries + Voices’s group show at Western Exhibitions. It was her drawing of a perfect piece of buttered toast that first caught our eye and from then on, Summertime has become huge fans of Whited’s work. We were so thrilled to feature her in our postcard project, Sincerely Summertime which included an original work and a message of Whited’s on the back.”
