Opening Night Friday June 10th 6-8pm

Minutia features the most recent works by Christine Atkins across several of her series. Moments in time experienced within the natural world captivate Christine and inspire her work. Simple phenomena witnessed in nature become the launch pad for her ideas.

Christine Atkins is a Canberra based visual artist who explores moments in time experienced within the natural world. Upon graduating with Honours from the Australian National University in 2011, Atkins was awarded two EASS awards from M16 Artspace and Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre. She has also been published twice in New Glass Review: 33 and 34, and was given Highly Commended at the National Student Art Glass Prize in 2012.
