Christina Bothwell creates fantastic and strangely compelling figurative
sculptures, which range from fascinating to disturbing. She studied
painting under Will Barnett at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts,
but gradually moved to working three-dimensionally using ceramics and
cast glass as well as antique toys, taxidermy animals or small furniture
parts. Bothwell’s pieces are often a union between her own mythology
and lucid dreams. They allow us to enter into a fertile subconscious
and reveal a vulnerability we may recognize as our own.
