Christine Cholewa

My practice combines a line of production work, with limited series, one of a kind exhibition pieces as well as regular participation in artist residencies. My work is handcrafted and I incorporate various glass, photographic, drawing, computer and printmaking techniques. I develop a narrative through imagery and pattern. My interest in graphic imagery, compositions and the everyday of our culture has greatly inspired my practice and my work has developed alongside my interest in imagery and glass.

Christopher Calver

My bronze artworks are created with a meticulous attention to detail, resulting in statues that are fusion of sculpture and jewellery.
I’m fascinated by mysticism, and this informs my art. Using balance and form, I give life to my bronze figures, making them seem to float and move in a way that shouldn’t be possible for heavy, inert objects under the influence of gravity. By combining realistic visual elements with aspects of impossibility, I seek to blur the boundaries of reality.
