Christiane Stolhofer

Christiane’s talks of more private, indefinable areas of our sense and sensibilities, using a subtle vocabulary. Sculptures that engage in conversation with quieter, more vulnerable, regions of feeling and thought. Memory is an important feature of her works: archaeology of the bush, memory of its trees, creatures, spirits and dreams. Her creatures are imaginary, but they closely resemble wild African animals: dialogue of one cultural heritage to another, of one speech to another. I have moved in April 2022 to Saskatoon and I am carrying on with my wood sculpture work, using the beautiful woods of this region.
