Christine Atkins

Sculptor


My current practice is focused on sculpture and art jewellery.  The works created are deeply influenced by my background in psychology, art therapy and my personal connection to the landscape.  Interwoven in each piece is a complex interaction of direct external observations and internal emotions, experiences and processes.  Hidden depth and emotions call for interaction and understanding, for connection and acknowledgement of the secreted meaning, symbolism, and metaphors, personal yet collective.
