About
“I’m Fine” and Other Lies We Tell Ourselves: A Selection of Works by Fraser Radford & Christina Chrysler
Visitors can expect to see a variety of contemporary acrylic and mixed media pieces completed by the artists over the course of the global pandemic.
“This exhibition reflects how we each, in our own way, use art to make sense of, and cope with, the world around us.” explains Chrysler. While the pandemic has certainly influenced the artists world view, it is not the focus of their work specifically, but rather “an exploration of how we as humans enter psychological survival mode when we lose our sense of control of the world around us.” “Over the past two years, through the lock downs, isolation, and other extenuating circumstances, art has remained a constant, and important presence for both of us” adds Radford. “Through all of the negativity, it has made me realize what is truly essential for my well-being.” Both artists are excited to share new work with the public after working in isolation over the past two-and-a-half years.
