Christopher McSherry

Christopher Mcsherry gained his Postgraduate Diploma from the Royal Academy Schools in 2012 after completing a BA in Sculpture at Camberwell College of Arts.

McSherry’s practice centres upon an investigation of the associative potential of materials and objects. His works, consisting of cast concrete and resin alongside photography and metalwork, develop these associations of place, function and histories through focusing upon their inherent instability and their capacity to unfold and fashion new, conflicting relations. It is a language based around slipping and stuttering, taking moments of resistance and ambiguity as the sites for potential work.

Recent exhibitions include As Wide As A Door is Open: Material Images, FOLD Gallery, London, and Cliffing, which showed at Plaza Plaza, London and Home Theatre, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

In 2011, McSherry was a guest student of Peter Doig at the Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf and in 2012 he was awarded the Patricia Turner Sculpture Award and the Tiranti Sculpture Prize. He completed a Spike Island Residency in Bristol in 2013.
