Fired Glass

Sgraffito Bliss!

A busy bee with yellow for a jolly good fellow.

Sgraffito Bliss : Clear glass plates with double sided enamel using sgraffito techniques.

Chrissy finds this process mesmerising as she weaves and deepens each line onto a glass plate. It's a 3-dimensional effect with black on the front and the colours on the back. This creates a feeling of viewing through a portal of light in a matrix. Both mosaics and sgraffito convey the complex arrangement of particles in life forms and environments. Form and flow is the fabric of life. 

Natural Elements Series

The Natural Elements Series is reflective of ecosystems from Chrissy’s travels around the world and Canada. This series appeals to those Little Red Riding Hood lovers, hinted by red tree trunks. 

"My deepest message with this series is that every being beholds a relationship that pumps blood into the earth. Cherish the lives that make this planet spin, from the mushroom to the bear. Feel the magic and illumination of these living beings."

This work is about flow, and how the elements go 

There's wind and water rising and we sometimes wonder why

There's the earth and the trees and the feel of the leaves

And when we feel present, it becomes something pleasant

Then there's the fire engine of the sun, and that helps us to run

And don't forget all the stars, they hold magic from afar

All the planets are in rhythm, it's a circus while moving in them

Everything is swirly, everything is hurly-burly

Everything has a spell, everything can jump down a well

Everything has its place, everything has it's space

Everything is a living creature, everything has all of these features

These are the elements in this story, and once you reach this, life's full of glory
