From Inspiration to Art
Inspiration, Ideas, Story
It all begins with inspiration...
Inspiration comes from anything; A favorite book or movie, a feeling in the air, discussions had with friends, old stories, moments in history. The majority of Christina's current work is inspired by the natural world and by looking into the deeper meanings and connections found in mythology and stories. The collective histories of women of the past and present, common motifs in life's challenges often serve as a skeletal structure on which to flesh out a visual communication. 
Completed Work
The journey is the goal, while the product the culmination of the many hours of discovery and work.
Usually Christina starts with images in her head, which she sketches in her journal. The feelings cannot be so easily translated in the sketches, but come out in the materials used to make the pieces. Each work is special and unique, made with care and a real love for the art and materials. |
Creation Process
Making paintings using the clean and dyed
fibers from animals like sheep is not a new invention. Christina carries on a long tradition that started when people collected different shades of natural animal fiber, felting it together to create garments, shoes and living spaces. Eventually people discovered they could make designs with the different colors. What is different now, is that instead of bonding the fibers using water and friction,we can just use spiked needles to achieve even more detailed results. |
