I am fascinated by the manifestations of collective unconscious within our global connectivity, so I like to situate an individual’s story within this larger context. My work focuses on the power of individual transformation to effect change in community, country and the world. In particular, I return to themes of hope, joy and resilience.</span><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;"><br></span></font></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; border-collapse: separate; "><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; "><em style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: italic; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">Cathy Gordon is a multidisciplinary artist and programmer living and working in Toronto.
