Cathy Weber’s
work is widely recognized for its lovingly rendered vision of commonplace
objects. She has placed them in
the context of artist’s books, quilts, illuminated manuscripts,
cartographic elements and architectural construction. The result
poetically addresses spirit, emotion, nature and politics. She feels
increased urgency to make things of beauty in response to war, injustice,
greed and violence. Making images of common, simple objects gives her
comfort and hope for weathering the human condition. "What best motivates
me in my work is the potential to uncover, expose and describe the
sacred," she writes. “The fruits of the earth and the human heart offer
the language. Working is the prayer.”
