Christine Davis

Christine Davis is a Canadian artist from Vancouver. She currently lives and works in New York. She grew up in Prince George, Ann Arbor, Lusaka and Toronto. After graduating from York University (Toronto), she attended the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris. She has served on the board of directors of The Power Plant (Toronto) and YYZ Artists' Outlet (Toronto). As a founding editor of the interdisciplinary journal Public: Art/Culture/Ideas, her editorial work intersects with the research driving her practice. Moving fluidly between film, photography, drawing, sculpture and video, her work often incorporates archival material to arrive at a prismatic view of the present and address core issues of our time. Her time-based work with slide dissolve is often described as haptic; enfolding screen, viewing space and projection apparatus within the sensory experience. Exploration of the image support is uniquely addressed in her work with sculptural screens constructed of butterflies, buttons, flowers, lead and upholstery. Davis' installations seem to propose that meanings from disparate historical and pedagogical contexts overlap and are released slowly over long periods of time.
