Christina Read’s artwork is bright, playful, and vulnerable. The UK-born Tāmaki-based artist’s practice spans drawing, painting, collage, textiles, and sculpture, all created with a distinctly ‘handmade’ sensibility that reveals the vulnerabilities of being an artist – and a person.
Oscillating between fiction and autobiography, her work explores the construction of selfhood, giving language and form to the complexities of living.
Christina has an MFA from Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland, a Graduate Diploma in Arts (Psychology) from Auckland University of Technology, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Kent Institute of Arts and Design, Canterbury, England.
