Chris Condon
I have always made things. Growing up in a small New England town I spent my time constructing things from articles I collected on my journeys and forages. From elaborate forts to simple objects, I would immerse myself in the process. Plans would be made, pictures drawn, materials gathered. When it was over I would start on a new project. As I got older these endeavors became more elaborate, requiring me to sneak into my father's workshop to use his tools. This love of process never left me, instead leading me to the Rhode Island School of Design where I studied sculpture. My time at RISD along with a year studying stone carving in Italy gave me the opportunity to forward my ideas and hone in my skills. In my studio I continue to learn and expand my vocabulary of materials and process. My work is often a whimsical take on observations of flora and fauna that inspire me on a daily basis. Whether silly narratives or curious abstractions, I hope to ignite the viewers interest and make them more aware of their natural surroundings leading to a deeper appreciation and care to tend and love the land we walk everyday.
I have been working and living in Atlanta for over fifteen years, creating work for both public and private commissions. My work can be seen at The Signature and Gallery in Atlanta, on my website, or by appointment at my studio.
