Cathy Brooke
Cath Brooke is a Leeds based printmaker inspired by urban and industrial landscapes. Cath studied fine art at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne where her interest in industrial spaces began during sketching trips to Swan Hunter shipyard on the River Tyne. Prints start with sketches before being re worked back in the studio. Images focus on the changing industrial landscapes of the North and Cath often visits the same sites many times, documenting the changes taking place as industries increasingly cease operation. Cath has recently undertaken residencies at Bradford Industrial Museum and Cliffe Castle Museum, Keighley.
