Catherine was selected for their sculptural and 2D work that was featured in the SSA’s 126th annual exhibition. As the winner, Catherine is awarded an exhibition at The Briggait in Glasgow during the arts programme for 2025.
Speaking about the selection of Catherine as the awardee, Caitlin Callaghan (Project Coordinator – Arts) said: Catherine’s work was really a standout piece in the exhibition. The textures in their ceramics were entirely fascinating. The SSA Wasps Award is a solo exhibition for the artist in Glasgow, in this case our South Block Gallery. With this in mind, Catherine’s work was a perfect fit. Upon doing some research on the artist and their practice, we discovered Catherine also worked in painting. South Block really lends itself to artists who work across different mediums and I am so excited to see what Catherine does with the space.
