Annie Cattrell

Annie Cattrell, Capacity (2000)

Annie Cattrell FRSS is a Glasgow-born sculptor and artist.^[1][2] Cattrell often works with specialists in neuroscience, meteorology, engineering, psychiatry, and the history of science.^[3] Evidence of this approach can be found in Capacity, a work created while she studied corrosion casts, a technique used to show the structure of lungs, in Guy's Hospital Museum of Anatomy.^[4] It has been shown both as an art object and to educate; for example, as a part of "Out of the Ordinary", an exhibition held at the Victoria & Albert Museum, and as an example of a fractal shape in nature, at a Royal Institution Christmas lecture.^[5][6] Cattrell is an Associate Lecturer on the MA Ceramics & Glass programme at the Royal College of Art in London.^[7]
