Christine Upton
“Inspired by Life” in Gallery 1
August 2020
Inspired by Life is a selection of works from Upton’s journeys in life. Christine uses lino block and monoprint to create works which are informed by her life experiences and explore: the relationship she has with her children who inspire and challenge her creativity, the difficulties of loss after the death of her husband in 2011 and the beauty and inspiration of Australian flora and fauna.
In 2014, Upton began experimentation with the repurposing of lino blocks and timber. The result is character filled, uniquely crafted sculptures created with lino blocks and timber. The timbers used to build Christine’s house and the original lino blocks give each sculpture a unique story.
