About

Captivated by nostalgia, Christine Boyer’s art is a personal interpretation of the natural world through the uncritical, sentimental, and affectionate lens of the past. Researching a subject’s original era, her work mingles bygone references with the contemporary, setting a stage which imagines how something might have been, and how current standards may change its meaning.

For artist Christine Boyer, creativity involves sifting through memory and sharing the stories unearthed. The process is then enriched with the reminiscences sparked when people view her work. But as memory and its sources must also withstand criticism, she is always careful to assess their suitability for the times. Nostalgia is at the core of her practice, a fascinating prism through which to explore the complex personal and cultural narratives that are both hers and that of her audience.
