The Goldmark Cultural Center’s Ruth Andres Gallery presents “What Grows Over Us”, a solo exhibition of new cyanotypes, photographs, and handmade books by Goldmark artist Kimberly Catino.
The exhibition is on display from 6/1 through 6/14.
About the Exhibition
This work moves through abandoned cemeteries across North-East Dallas, where memory is no longer stable. Headstones sink, names disappear, and histories give way to weather, growth, and time. These sites are not preserved—they are being slowly overwritten. Using cyanotype, digital photography, and handmade books, I trace that process of erosion.
Light and exposure flatten figures into shadow, while detail slips out of reach. The images resist clarity, holding only fragments of what was once legible.
The books invite close, physical engagement, echoing the scale of personal loss, while the photographs hover slightly off the wall—untethered, like the sites themselves.
This is not an act of recovery, but of attention. The work lingers in the gaps where memory fails, asking what remains when the ground itself begins to forget.
About the Artist
Kimberly Catino is a photographer whose work lingers in the quiet spaces where memory fades, and nature takes hold. Focusing on abandoned and historical cemeteries in DFW, she uses alternative photographic processes to create images that feel unearthed rather than taken— fragmented, textured, and ghostlike.
Her work traces the slow erasure of identity as headstones tilt, names dissolve, and the land begins to reclaim what was once carefully marked. Through distortion, decay, and softened detail, Kimberly embraces imperfection as a way of revealing what time obscures. The images resist clarity, echoing the instability of memory itself.
In What Grows Over Us, Kimberly invites viewers to confront the uneasy beauty of neglect and the persistence of what remains. Her photographs suggest that forgetting is not an absence, but a quiet transformation—where histories are not lost, only buried beneath layers that continue to grow.
