analogue
Chris' sculptural practice attempts to impose order and control in a chaotic world. Each piece symbolises a memory, event, or relationship, repurposing materials from their natural trajectories into new scenarios. This reflects the fluidity of history and the future, emphasising constant change. The high level of craftsmanship and traditional techniques underscore his dedication to improving as an artist, showcasing refined tacit understanding of materiality and challenging himself with each creation. Chris' sculpture therefore represents one of the few things over which he can guarantee any degree of certainty. We constantly exist in a state of flux despite our best efforts to order and control our own lives.
