‘Wavescapes’, is an music album made in collaboration minamalist composer Matt Gooderson. The work was created during 2022 Lockdown and expressing a longing for the sea combining art and music inspired by the propelling energy found in waves. The album was released in June 2020 available on Bandcamp @playinthesystem, using 'Möbius wave' etching as its cover. This work featured in Printmaking Today 2021. The music has since featured in dance performances and art installation.
"Having my work used as a music album cover is a dream come true for me, having the music inspired by my art has taken it into another dimension."

Catherine continues to develop her printmaking practice by travelling to work alongside masterprintmakers internationally.
