Christiana Updegraff
Cooler Room Artist in Residence
April/May
"My current body of work is inspired by time, loss, uncertainty, fear, corporeal deterioration, and stagnation. I am particularly engaged with objects of human comfort in conjunction with imagery of emptiness and decay. During my time at Art Produce, I will be exploring impressions of domestic items and gendered objects which have been donated from local parents and caregivers."

About the Artist:
"I am a cross discipline 3-dimensional artist, with recent work that incorporates a background of Metalsmithing and Craft with Sculpture. I completed my M.F.A. at San Diego State University in 2011. I received my B.F.A. in 2007 from Kent State University. I maintained a studio in Los Angeles for ten years, and recently moved back to San Diego during Covid. I have been creating and exhibiting work nationwide, as well as teaching Fine Art in higher education in Southern California." Instagram: @christianaupdegraff |
