Digital artist, poet and songwriter, Cat Catalyst seamlessly blends multi-modal art forms, creating visionary fusions that not only illuminate one’s inner identity, but also serve as an invitation to transform and awaken the collective consciousness.

Every poetic script, sonic layer, or line of code is a waveform functioning as a tuning fork for love, integrity, and creative expansion—bridging heart, mind, and Source.

Through the processes of autoethnography, autotheory, and self-archival, Cat has collated three decades of noetic content into a hybrid trilogy, that incorporates digital materialities and transmedia storytelling, creating a post-digital ecosystem of multisensory art forms that serve as instruments of both alignment and expansion.

1—Album Amicorum—a decolonised, interactive artist’s book using AR,XR and AI tech, weaving memory, identity and matrilineal wisdom with emerging technologies that is also an album of songs.

2—Love Made Visible—a blues-jazz album—and poetic soundscape that sings these texts into embodiment, in addition to an EP and a Single. More singles available on Bandcamp.

3—Nóēma Poēma – Matrilineal Musings – brings together two former poetic volumes—Creatrix and Noetic Poetics—that map the inner terrain, fully revised with previously unpublished material, consisting of 131 poems, manifestos and invocations across 412 pages.

“As a result of experimenting with AR, XR and AI, I was able to explore a new kind of hybrid materiality where technology could perform an assistive role in my creative process that amplified my noetic content without diminishing the authenticity of my personal artistic expression.”

Cat’s previous visual art has explored themes of memory, identity and the materiality of the artist’s book, creating a visual language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. Various iterations of Cat’s Artist’s Bookworks are collected by notable special collections, including the Wellcome Library, the British Library, the Women’s Art Library and the PAGES Travelling Collective, with work showcased at various events, including Late At Tate, the London Eye, and the London Underground.

ONLINE SHOP—Coming soon in 2026. There will shortly be a range of apparel available exclusively from Cat’s online shop. Watch this space.

Cat inherited the surname of ‘Catalyst’ back in the early 1990’s as a result of organising a series of Arts and Well-being events in Australia and the UK, named ‘Catalyst’. The purpose of these events was to raise an awareness of environmental issues through the creative use of recycled materials, whilst simultaneously promoting a sense of communal cohesion by showcasing the work of local artists and designers. Which Cat has been doing on and off ever since. The dictionary definition of a ‘Catalyst’ is: ‘an agent of change and transformation which does not become changed in the process‘, whereupon one can serve as a conduit for universal truth, whilst retaining one’s authenticity. 

iPoem’s Blog was launched on 12th June 2012 as part of Cat’s Fine Art undergrad degree show and has been Cat’s personal weblog ever since. For Cat’s UAL academic website, that also archives Cat’s former event curation, pre-millennial digital art and early spoken-word performances, please visit HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you here again soon 🙂
