Ann Christopher RA
RA Collections curator Annette Wickham explores some of the themes and ideas behind this exhibition of drawings by award-winning abstract sculptor Ann Christopher RA.
Ann Christopher RA began this project while working in southern France near the town of Albi and describes the forms as based on ‘the ever-changing effects of the climate and light on the landscape’ there. The drawings continue her exploration of line through her non-figurative sculpture.
Ann Christopher RA is a non-figurative sculptor whose elegant and understated works reveal connections with a vast spectrum of sources from across the globe, from rock formations in Menorca and Iceland to fossils from the Cretaceous chalks of Hertfordshire. Christopher has been exhibiting sculpture for over 45 years, during which she has won many awards and prizes, including the Silver Medal for Sculpture of Outstanding Merit by the Royal Society of British Sculptors and the Otto Beit Medal of Sculpture of Outstanding Merit.
