Present Portal (installation photo below) was selected by the Creative Industries Art and Design Dept at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) as well as the curatorial staff at QUT Art Museum to make the inaugural 3D object to assist the visually impaired to have a sensory, tactile experience of artworks in galleries. Based on my painting, the object aims to represent what it would be like to traverse this mystical landscape. A sonic interpretation, based on Present Portal accompanied the installation and was created by French DJ, Aymeric Vildeau | please see link below

Parallel Worlds - essay by Annelize Mulder www.annlizemulder.com

Spiro Grace Art Rooms, Brisbane
The final paragraph in the catalogue essay by Annelize Mulder, a practicing artist and writer based in Brisbane.
Parker is a story teller and her endeavour is to unmask what we often dismiss, not due to our inability to see beyond, but simply because we don’t pause to truly observe. Parker doesn’t impose boundaries or belief systems on us, she merely offers a roadmap to evoke a renewed sense of marvel in the world around us.
Words by Annelize Mulder, a practicing artist and writer based in Brisbane.

Whilst the world may at times be in a state of flux, Catherine Parker’s work stands as an affirmation of the constant beauty within nature and humanity. Often eschewing a focal point, her mixed media paintings explore the intricacies within the vastness of physical and spiritual space, depicting decentralised worlds where all things are interconnected.
Bound together on the periphery and surrounded by highly detailed fragments along the outer edges of the canvas, each waits to be intuitively contemplated into reality. Parker’s works remind us to pay attention to the wonders of the world – not necessarily the marvels but specifically the things that exist around us and within us.

It was a honour to be invited to exhibit with some pretty special + iconic artists and some whom I’ve admired for a long time…
In the words of the curatorial team…
It’s NERAM’s 40th anniversary and to celebrate we are bringing back an old NERAM tradition, the Fifty/ 50. Conceived by previous NERAM Director, Joe Eisenberg, the Fifty/ 50 is an exhibition, it’s a raffle, and it’s a fundraiser for the Art Museum. Artists have donated artworks that are up for grabs in a progressive raffle that will be drawn at the conclusion of the exhibition. If your name gets drawn out first, you get first pick from all of the artworks on display, and so on until the last person drawn gets the last artwork remaining.
Artists: Angus Nivison, Ben Tooth, Carl Warner, Catherine Parker, Christopher Hodges, David Frazer, David Voigt, Deborah Wilkinson, Dianne Fogwell, Deirdre Bean, Ebony Russell, Elizabeth Willing, Elouise Roberts, Euan Macleod, Frank Hodgkinson, Gabrielle Collins, Garry Shead, Helen Eager, Henri van Noordenburg, John Olsen, Jude Rae, Judy Watson, Judy Cassab, Julianne Allcorn, Kate Barry, Kate Durack, Kate Rohde, Ken Done, Kurt Sorensen, Leah Bullen, Liz Priestley, Liz Peniazeva, Maria Constantinescu, Michael Zavros, Michelle Hungerford, Miranda Hine, Mostyn Bramley Moore, Myfanwy Gullifer, Natalya Hughes, Paula Jenkins, Penelope Oates, Robert Moore, Rona Green, Ross Laurie, Ruth Waller, Samantha Dennison, Samuel Massey, Susan Lincoln, Suzy King & Zoe Tjanavaras.
