Circularity is inherent to the human experience. Christie-Coxon actions fluid loops, endless in its iterations and forms, a symbol created to represent the vastness of concepts relating to unity, duality, oneness, and the endless return. An ode to materiality, each circle is a deliberate gesture ultimately resolved by nature; revelations of alchemy at the intersection of structure and liberation. One may see the fluid loop as a modern hybrid of the ancient Ouroboros and Japanese ensō, iconic in the context of the global issues humanity faces today, symbolic of a culture seeking circularity, connection, and inclusivity.

Process and circularity characterise Christie-Coxon’s work; no two forms are the same; these ‘imperfect’ circles allow for - and embrace - variation. The Circle loops back, informing itself repeatedly. In ‘collaborating’ with paint, Christie-Coxon’s works become visual records of revelations at the intersect of gesture and process. Pigmented substances are engaged as elemental and reactive, presented at scale and in action. The process of making is not hidden, but rather remains a prominent aspect of the completed work.

In this way, Christie-Coxon acts as a facilitator - rather than a controller - working in collaboration with the media and with nature. In her words, “encouraging the paint to express itself”, as she facilitates and captures painterly happenings through a liberation of the medium, serving as a symbol of unity, duality, and the cyclical nature of existence.

These misshapen circles symbolise many things: spontaneous expression; the beauty in imperfection; oneness, and the cyclical nature of the universe.
