Opening Reception: October 4, 6-9pm

Please join us for this exhibition of new porcelain vessels and sculptures by multifaceted artist, designer and sculptor Christina Brinkman. Of this new work Christina has said:

I am guided by touch and engagement with the material. Nature and organic form help bring direction and orientation. I think this work tries to be sympathetic with the natural world. It is usually white. White reflects simplicity, purity, nakedness, lightness, death, calm, or stillness. It is also spare… Without the distraction of color, one considers the outline, the interior and exterior space, the proportions and relationships of the form.

About the Artist

She began as a painter and printmaker, specializing in etchings and mixed media prints. Widely exhibiting both nationally and regionally, she has participated in numerous individual and juried group shows winning many awards. Her work is included in public, private and corporate collections.

In 1984, she published a series of die-cut cards which rapidly expanded and was published under the name of Parrett Paper. These unique cards were sold and distributed throughout the world in galleries, museums, and high end stationery stores.
