Christina Watka

Spending her lifetime loving and wondering about the world, Christina uses the simple delight of experiencing nature fully to create layers of meaning in space. All of her work is based heavily in process, using her body in a repeated creative gesture to make work that discusses light and joy and the interplay between the two.

In her most recent installations that revolve around her lifelong practice of Noticing Light, she works with light reflective materials to create kinetic works of reflected light and colored shadow that illuminate the spaces they are in. Depending on the time of day, the natural light that moves around the room connects with the artwork and collaborates with it, creating a changed place and a purpose in the moment.
