Culture Pundits Featured Artist

Chrissy Conant

artist 125x125
My artworks are portraits of personal struggles. Their success depends on my ability to expose my deepest feelings and tap into a universal resonance. For example, I examine waning reproductive years, vulnerability in dating and submission to parental influence. Chrissy Caviar® was conceived to assess the big 4-0. I underwent surgery to remove 13 eggs from my ovaries: ‘Human caviar’ packaged, offered for sale, marketed as the most precious perishable luxury item. Teddy Chrissy emerged from 25 years of dating frustration and vulnerability. I replaced the fur of a stuffed teddy bear with stainless steel pins. My painstaking technique led to personal catharsis. Chrissy Skin Rug represents my relationship to my parents. I cast my bare skin out of silicone rubber. Flattened, I am positioned on a floor. I gaze upward with open mouth. The suppressing effect my parents have on me continues, long after I have grown up and they have gone.
