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.
