Summary: Chris works predominantly with lightweight materials, most recently focussing on giving new life to discarded waste materials from the refrigeration industry, mostly from the now defunct Electrolux Refrigeration plant, Orange.
Thermoplastics, aluminium, copper & stainless-steel wire appeal for their particular translucent and reflective qualities. From these, Chris creates small polished, delicately worked components reflecting the intimate nature of the handmade form and at the same time, acknowledging the precision of the refrigeration industry.
Chris constantly references Arctic and Antarctic zones and makes comment on the geographical structure and processes relative to their existence and their future.
Her works are metaphors, ‘instants’ of geographical processes.
