CV

b. 1969

Harry Chrystall is a mixed media artist with a predominant interest in the nature of identity and authorship, and how they have evolved and function within the pervading conditions governing the human experience.

 

With an emphasis on process often involving what we think of as natural phenomena, his means of creation reflect in a literal sense this mysterious relationship between individual and setting.
