Christian Bernard Singer incorporates living plant life and mosses, clay, and other elements in his environment-installations and land-works that oscillate between permanence and ephemera and turn on notions of interior/exterior space and place.
Detailed Description: Over the last few years, Singer has made living natural elements (living plants and mosses) the central component within installations that also incorporate a variety of other materials such as cast glass and bronze, clay (fired and un-fired), found objects and digital elements (video or sound). These “living” environment-installations seem to oscillate between permanence and ephemera while turning on notions of place, memory and time passing.
Singer has exhibited in the U.S. and Canada, and most recently participated in the ShoreLines Project at the MacLaren Art Centre, the Kiwi Sculpture Garden Project and a solo at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery that was reviewed in the March edition of Sculpture Magazine. He currently teaches sculpture at the Ontario College of Art and Design and the Toronto School of Art.
