Catherine Anyango is a Swedish/Kenyan artist, currently a tutor in the Communication Art and Design department at the Royal College of Art in London. She studied design at St Martins and the Royal College of Art followed by an MA in English Literature at UCL. She has produced live film events around London, including the Victoria & Albert Museum and the National Film Theatre and has exhibited work internationally. Her films and images are based on the real world but use landscapes that have been fabricated. Because she works across platforms she enjoys participating in more than one creative sphere and has produced work for Art Basel Miami Beach, the London Design Festival, London Fashion Week and Design Miami Basel.

In 2010 the publication of her graphic novel adaptation of Heart of Darkness was met with critical acclaim including the Observer’s Graphic Novel of the Month. In her extraordinary series of photographic illustrations for Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw the domestic interior is represented in a succession of decreasing environments, from a city to a room within a room, the edges we give to our personal existence creating new settings for melancholy domesticity and the subtle horrors.
