About the artist

Christi York combines traditional weaving methods with a contemporary approach. She harvests and processes all of her own natural materials in and around her home on Vancouver Island, BC.With a background in both graphic and jewelry design, York’s work naturally flows towards mixed media, with botanical material and imagery always front and centre.Inspired by the overwhelming complexity of plant life on earth, she invites people to pause and re-consider the seemingly humble nature of plant material.

In their words

Foraging for materials within the seasons, my work is quite literally tied to the cycle of the natural world. Basketmaking has a communal history in nearly every culture on the planet. When I weave, I feel linked to this collective history of civilization; a time when we had respect and a deep generational knowledge about the self sustaining systems of the earth.
