Woodstock is a personal exploration by Sadie Catt of a small Canadian rural community. Her work asks questions about the role of women in agriculture and farming that intertwines folklore, ritual and the experience of connecting with distant family members.

Woodstock focuses on the inhabitants of a small city in Ontario, Canada. It is a creative response to the social dynamics and cultural identifiers of a place known locally as ‘The Friendly City’. As an inside-outsider, linked through maternal ties, the artist’s work is rooted in the personal exploration of her family’s traumatic past and its lasting effect. Woodstock explores themes of immigration and the traditions of rural, agricultural community whilst documenting an evolving sense of the place.
