Christine Simpson
I’m interested in energy, the energy between beings and nature and the universal
Following on from two decades of artmaking, exhibiting, educating, collaborating, curating and completing postgraduate studies at Sydney’s SCA majoring in Sculpture, Performance and Installation, I have arrived at a practice that has become a facilitation of energy’s processes. Via waves of light, colour, sound and unseen energy, and the subsequent direction of these elements, my artwork manifests as dynamic permeations to impress the sensory and phenomenological experiences of lived existence.

Sydney Dwelling IV
Sydney Dwelling is a statement about the impermanent nature of man-made development and so called progress. It is an awareness that natural forces cannot be smothered by scaffolding and cement, quietly breathing and biding her time.

Chakra Column
Interested in yoga philosophy and reflecting on the holistic and spiritual nature of our being and the interconnectedness of everything material, immaterial and metaphysical. Here the human body has been transposed into a multi-coloured glass column of chakra luminosity.
This work also moves with the air's currents and is constantly in the present moment reflecting the forever changing light. It is a vital thing.
