Christopher Brumfield

 

Memory has always played a significant role in Christopher Brumfield’s work. Most recently, his work has focused on dislocation, having his own notions about permanence altered over the past decade. His earliest sculptures sought to give physicality to childhood memories, which over time evolved into separate current focuses.

The first body is a series of abstracted organic pieces made of clay and glass that Brumfield characterizes as “memory nests.” Trying to picture what a memory might actually look like in one’s mind, he has installed numerous such sculptures – with a guerilla-like approach - under bridges and in different locales worldwide.
