ARTIST STATEMENT
Referencing cabinets of curiosity and taxidermy, my work investigates the intersection of
museology, natural history, science, and visual art. Broadly speaking, my work looks at the
demands of nostalgia through an environmental lens. I incorporate photography and installation
to document our collective curiosity and longing for wonder, beauty, meaning and remembrance.
Christina Lowry is an award-winning fine artist, recognised for her photography and installations with central themes of nature, memento mori, and cabinets of curiosity. She has been a practicing artist for over two decades and has a studio just outside Brisbane.
She studied at Queensland College of Art 1999- 2002 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts/ Visual Arts majoring in Intermedia. She returned to study in 2023 and is currently working towards her Masters of Visual Arts.
