Chrissy was here… s
ee the marks she has made?
Chrissy practices an unconventional approach to the order of things, finding creative nourishment and comfort in the sense of unsettle. Dealing in ambiguity and the emotional, Chrissy is an enthusiast of contrasting elements and the contradictions of identity, situation, and life. Figurations explore the intersections of darkness and light, the cute and the creepy, the familiar and the unknowable. Her work honours the cyclic nature of life and the relationships that bind us, drawing from the often-ignored treasures of the domestic realm to echo the forest floor of fairytale. Fabrics, thread and doilies from her linen closet stash reflect constructs of inherited femininity, ridden with the angst of obligation and historically bogged down in assigned gender roles. But in the here and now, Chrissy’s mark making process affirms the matriarchal line in a unified deflection of the evil eye.
