A blog about Christine’s Art Practice situated around themes of art, science and contemporary ontological enquiry.
Making is currently divided between research around a proposal for a Ph.D. by Art Practice and open studio activities in an artist’s residency in Penrith, Cumbria.

I love the Pandora reference at the end, which had me running back to dig out ‘Avatar’ and watch it again.
