Christopher Frost




STATEMENT

Christopher Frost has been creating sculptures based on an exploration of traditional Chinese Scholar’s Rocks for several years. Scholar’s Rocks are elaborate naturally formed stones and are viewed as reflections of the natural world: contemplative and balanced. Frost’s pieces emerge from these aesthetics and infuse characteristics of contemporary environments. With color, text, scale and a myriad of material clashing together, these artworks are the ancient and the current bumping and bursting, mashed into one.
