Dr Catherine Baker, an Associate Professor at Birmingham City University, is an artist researcher whose work utilises interdisciplinary approaches that extend into medical and clinical sciences to respond to ideas that explore our relationship with illness and the disruption of the human body.
Interested in the capabilities of contemporary photopolymer gravure printmaking, Catherine uses laser cutters to burn into the printed substrate in a highly controlled, diagrammatic way where hundredths of a millimetre count. Her QEST Scholarship provided vital development in image preparation and plate making for this technique at Lux Darkroom in London.
