Caitlin Foster is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in The Mimili Community on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands, in the North-West of South Australia. Emmalie met Caitlin for the first time in 2020 while she was exhibiting for 'Conglomerate' at the Q-Bank Gallery. Caitlin returned with Tim Coad to Queenstown for a family gathering, so we snatched some time to record a conversation. We recorded back to back with Tim. Although I was feeling ill, Caitlin offered me renewed energy with her playful vibes. Caitlin discusses paper people and drawing rooms, channeling tension and stress into her characters, discovering the true monsters; the machines, large and small, getting sidetracked as a means to finding something, her deep love of story, the process of creating narratives, neglected machines and the importance of stupid smartphones, the almost inescapable nature of industry, the act of seeking, dipping out of reality for four years, doing “a little bit of this, a little bit of that”, and the greatest love story ever known - the story of Caitlin’s folks meeting in Queenstown and the sparks that set off in that moment.
