Layers, line, text, accumulation and repetition.
Christine Fry
Christine has a BA in Anthropology from York University and a BFA in printmaking from OCAD University. Her current work explores ideas around accumulation, language, repetition and memory. Her work employs the tactics of accumulation, construction/deconstruction movement and repetition inherent in the medias of Printmaking, Drawing, and Animation. Process and materials lead her creative work; the act of making becomes a path to understanding.
She lives and works in Grey Highlands, Ontario.
