Christine Hornung
Christine Hornung is a Calgary-based visual artist who works with oils, charcoals, wax and collage. She is passionate about motherhood and ecology and the complex intersections of the two. Wildlife references, particularly bird imagery, are a consistent presence in her art practice. Her recent work is an exploration of universal themes of motherhood, using symbolism of birds and wildlife to illustrate the invisible, unseen work and tension of this complicated relationship. Her current project is a series of self-portraits using wildlife avatars as narrative portraits of herself and the people in her life.
