Noticing Light works by Christina Watka November 22 - January 28 Artist Statement Inspired by natural beauty, Christina Watka creates joyful spaces that reflect the interplay between light, fullness, movement, and stillness. Her process is grounded in mindfulness, repeating the same movement until it becomes meditative. By multiplying and manipulating simple materials, familiar natural forms appear: a swarm, a constellation, the changing texture of a body of water. Her work invites the viewer into balance: the simple act of following light across a suspended sculpture made of mica and acrylic conjures the same sense of calm and wonder as a walk in the woods.
