Christina on "The Lightness of Joy"

This work was created in the light of my studio. To me, its title really says it all: when I sit with this work, I feel lifted and happy. I am learning to harness this language of lightness and joy, to explore it as a way to communicate visually. The effortless turn of the mica pushes light around the room and the rest of the work reacts, in motion, to the simplest shift in air (a breath, a passer-by, a thought).
