STATEMENT ON WORK
Multidisciplinary artist Christie Kirchner’s work explores the meaning inherent in process, materiality and the act of making. Christie draws inspiration from the repetitive actions, domestic rituals, and symbolic objects and materials that are intrinsic to her daily life and personal narrative. Created through similarly repetitious drawing and printmaking methods, the imagery in her work is formed by delicate and rhythmic marks that evoke the cyclical experience of time and memory.

CHRISTIE KIRCHNER received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Drawing from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 2009, and completed a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Printmaking at York University in 2014. A dedicated arts administrator as well as a practicing artist, Christie is the former Director of the Alberta Printmakers’ Society and Artist Proof Gallery in Calgary, and is currently the Fund Development Coordinator for Artscape in Toronto. She has exhibited in Eastern and Western Canada, and internationally in Europe. Website: christiekirchner.com

The Rusty Toque was supported by the Canada Council from 2015-2017

The Rusty Toque would like to acknowledge the sacred land on which we operate. It has been a site of human activity for 15,000 years. This land is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and Confederacy of the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, on this territory.
