Ode to the Masters
Christina Currey
CHUTESPACE
Opening Thursday 27 August, 2026, 6-8pm
Friday 28 August - Sunday 20 September
This small sculptural work is an Ionic column carved from balsa wood. Chosen for its light tone and malleability, the material evokes the white marble of Greco-Roman architecture while emphasising process and touch. The work pays homage to the master artisans whose craftsmanship has endured as a source of study and inspiration for millennia.
