Artist Statement:

Christopher Sacre studied Fine Art Sculpture at Wolverhampton University and his first instillation marked a creative turning point as his work shifted from more traditional, nature-related sculpture to the conceptual.

Energised by the success of this piece Christopher created a further sculptural evolution of his ‘condom’ cast work and continued to explore the possibilities of his sculptural forms whilst pushing his work into unfamiliar territory with drawings, paintings and prints.

Christopher also works extensively with museums and galleries around the country delivering creative workshops for both deaf and hearing people since 2000.

In 2016, Christopher established SEE and CREATE, enabling Deaf Families to have greater opportunity to participate in accessible family-friendly creative events.
