Work

Paterson has done several projects relating to melting glaciers; her graduation piece for art school, Vatnajökull (the sound of), featured a mobile phone number connected to a microphone submerged in a lagoon beneath Europe's largest glacier. Related work includes Langjökull, Snaefellsjökull, Soheimajökull, in which the soundscape of melting glaciers was created by making LPs from ice consisting of glacier meltwater.[6]

In one project she created a map of 27,000 known dead stars.[7] [8] [9] In History of Darkness Paterson presents the viewer with a multitude of images in the form of 35 mm slides that the viewer is invited to pick up and view in good light. They are labeled as to the disparate points in the universe from which they are photographed. And indicated on each is the distance in light-years from that point in the sky to Earth. They are images of darkness, and they are all virtually the same.[10]

She has had solo exhibitions at Modern Art Oxford, Kettle's Yard Cambridge,[11] Mead Gallery, Warwick Arts Centre,[12] Selfridges, London,[13] BAWAG Contemporary, Vienna,[14] [15] Haunch of Venison, London, PKM, Seoul.,[16] Turner Contemporary, and Ingleby.
