Catriona Shaw is a Scottish artist and musician who grew up on the Orkney Islands.
She
is currently based in Berlin.


Using drawing, performance, music and video Catriona Shaw creates interactive or set
environments which engage audiences throughout the creative process. As her main
starting point, Shaw's drawings connects her different creative outputs and makes visible
her interest in popular culture, anthropomorphism, absence and social politics. As the live
performer, Miss le Bomb, her stage shows draw the audience mentally and physically closer,
investigating public expectation, pop myth and the ‘star’ as a consumer item.
