A relative newcomer to Colorado, artist Christine Nguyen arrived from California with a résumé that boasts an international reach and a mixed-media practice as big as the cosmos that inspires her. Nguyen applies her skills and a respect for nature and science to photo-based, large-scale public artworks and installations, incorporating unusual natural materials, from salt crystals to meteorite dust. Other works involve elaborately cut and folded surfaces, spray paint, cyanotypes, glass and ceramic elements or dried plant matter, sometimes all mixed together. Learn more about the mixture of science and the cosmic unknown that drives Nguyen as an artist.
