At first glance Ann Christopher’s elegantly understated sculpture appears as a series of formal decisions and aesthetic concerns about shape and surface. However her making process is much more complex and instinctual. Once a basic shape is chosen and a template constructed, often out of material as humble as cardboard, it is built up using resin, giving depth and texture to the form before casting into Christopher’s metal of choice and further worked laboriously by hand. Later, precise machine milled linear incisions are made to create a tension with the delicate hand-finished surfaces.
