Joy by Cathy Jenner

An exhibition by Tasmanian emerging artist Cathy Jenner.

Cathy Jenner is an artist based on the North West Coast of Tasmania who constructs elaborate narrative universes. Central to Cathy’s practice is an enduring sense of joy. Positioning herself as “the Producer,” Cathy adopts multiple creative roles simultaneously – director, editor, costume designer, and set builder – shifting between them as each story demands.

Her works do not resolve into a single finished film or performance. Instead, they exist as fragments of scripts, maps, storyboards, photographs, props, paintings, backdrops, sculptures and costumes.

This exhibition is part of our 2026 Little Gallery Emerging Artist Program.
