Spillings of the unconscious...

"These are some of my paintings and clay icons. They were made in Australia and New Zealand. For years, Lucidity was my closest lover. I kept my paintings in cupboards instead of food, kept company with ghosts and wraiths. The work you see here spans a period of more than thirty years. If you want to see more, click on any of the images and this will take you to the galleries at my main website, PRESENTING CHRISTINA CONRAD.

"The job of the artist is to lift the lid of the unconscious and allow the creatures that exist there in unmaterialised form to express themselves bodily. To accomplish this the artist must get out of the way, let the work express itself rather than the artist whose ego can only maurade and falsify, thus spoiling its chances to be fully born."
