Cample Residency 2026
Catherine Street
2-8 February
This February, artist Catherine Street will undertake a week-long residency at Cample, staying in neighbouring village Gatelawbridge and using her time to focus on longstanding interests in collage, sound and performance.
Catherine’s practice explores how human bodies affect, and are affected by, their environment. This could be the environment in the sense of physical objects and substances or the environment of language and ideas; it could be both outside and within the body, and it could be that which reveals itself to human senses or perhaps evades them.
Whilst at Cample, Catherine will develop new collages as part of a wider body of work on paper that uses pages from medical textbooks or the literature found on pill packets. She will also engage in some wintery sonic explorations of Cample’s surroundings, gently and quietly using her voice as an extension of her body.
Catherine is will be our fourth February resident; previous residents include Nina Mingya Powles (2023), K Morgan (2024) and Maria Howard (2025).
These short residencies support artists, makers or writers whose work explores the intersections of poetry, prose, print, image and inquiry, encompassing language, material, mark-making, the body, landscape, personal memory, and histories of migration.
Catherine Street is an artist based in Edinburgh. Her previous projects include a multidisciplinary collaborative project with artist Dr Beverley Hood and the NHS Dermatology Department in Edinburgh; Now 3 at Modern One, Edinburgh; a film commission for LUX Scotland in celebration of the work of renowned Scottish poet and filmmaker Margaret Tait; and solo exhibitions at The Reid Gallery at The Glasgow School of Art and Sierra Metro in Leith.
Catherine has undertaken a number of residencies, including at Hospitalfield, Scottish Sculpture Workshop, the Museum of Loss and Renewal and Rough Mix with Magnetic North, which took place at CAMPLE LINE in February 2024.
Catherine’s writing has been published in a range of journals, anthologies and online platforms including Black Box Manifold, Unpsychology, MUCK (Must Use Critical Knowledge) and HOAX
