Labor pains and giving birth in a mask. This show is a snapshot of the current landscape that surrounds becoming a parent.
Christina Klein is a painter and sculptor from Fairview, Kansas. Researching and documenting the changes in rural communities is the focus of Christina’s current body of work, which begins with the meditative process of playing with recycled materials. Canvases are sewn together using scraps of fabric, mixing textures to create shadows and seams that stretch across the surface. She also uses recycled cardboard, fabric from couches and other sources to build soft sculptures that resemble domestic structures from homes. Christina received her MFA from Florida State University and recently completed her Fulbright Fellowship at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg. She is currently a Lecturer at the University of California Berkeley.
