Low Relief
Christine Waugh
September 5 – 25, 2014

Halifax based ceramicist Christine Waugh exhibits a series of niche sculptures emerging from meditative processes, on view in the corridor gallery from September 5 – 25. Describing the exhibition, Waugh explains:

Bringing a longstanding body of work to a more personal scale, Low Relief allows a less imposing relationship with the viewer. Continuing on themes of a secular sacred and prioritizing form over surface, this work however is made more relate-able through decorative techniques.

Creating these forms has become a ritual, meditative process; an intuitive arrangement of forms stacked together.

Christine Waugh is a ceramicist and mixed media artist living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Since graduating NSCAD U with a BFA: Ceramics in 2009 she has maintained a studio practice, shown in a variety of settings, and worked to expand skill, knowledge base, and expand her art making options.

Located inside the Visual Arts Nova Scotia (VANS) office at the Halifax Seaport, since 2000, the Corridor Gallery is complimented by a historical legacy of Nova Scotia culture, simple yet modern architectural elements and an array of current cultural activity in the Cultural Federations of Nova Scotia office. The Corridor Gallery is located at 1113 Marginal Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia and is open Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.
