Caroline Christie-Coxon’s photographic works arise from an interdisciplinary practice where performance, installation, and intervention intersect. Lens-based media serves as a point of convergence, capturing site-responsive actions unfolding in real time. The work balances preparation and intuition, shaped by sensitivity to place and real-time land–body engagements. Often working nomadically within vast, fragile environments and without an audience, she engages directly with landscape and elemental forces, with the body acting as both scale and mediator.
These actions operate across multiple forms simultaneously, hence “engagements” as a framing. The resulting images distil ephemeral moments, preserving traces of process, duration, and environmental condition within an ongoing methodology.
Her Soft Paintings and Soft Sculptures function as mobile, adaptive tools within the landscape, extending painting beyond the wall into direct dialogue with natural systems. Activated by gravity, flow, and light, they operate as both material and interface — a shifting membrane between body and environment.
The works explore vulnerability, diasporic belonging, and humanity’s entanglement with the more-than-human world.
