Catherine Weng is a multidisciplinary artist based in Naarm/Melbourne. Her practice spans painting, textiles, and installation, engaging with the unstable boundaries of the human body and psyche. Drawing on ideas of interiority and materiality, her work explores bodily transformation through surreal forms. She is particularly interested in the tension between the grotesque and the beautiful, inviting viewers into uneasy yet intimate encounters.
