Please join us, Tuesday 29 July, 5 - 7pm for the opening celebration of Catherine Griffiths: Walk With Me, a solo exhibition by designer and artist Catherine Griffiths.

Griffiths’ evocative typographic practice spans a vast range of fields and contexts, including sculpture, gallery-based installation, video, photography, architecture, and activism. In each situation, she retains an extraordinary agency to self-determine her treatment of type, be it in choosing to work in public or private spaces, or in determining whether to prioritise legibility or explore the abstract and material potentiality of letterforms.

Griffiths has practised internationally for over four decades, including exhibiting in Australia, Chile, France, the USA, China, South Korea, and Aotearoa. Catherine Griffiths: Walk With Me builds on two prior surveys of Griffiths' practice, the 2019 exhibition/ publication SOLO IN [ ] SPACE, curated by Zhihua Duan (The Space Gallery/ Pocca publishing, Shanghai, 2019), and the recent exhibition Catherine Griffiths: Out of Line, curated by Ela Egidy and Megan Patty (The Design Gallery, University of Melbourne, 2025), which tours in 2026. Griffiths lives in Karekare, West Auckland, and also spends time intermittently in Paris.
