Caroline Christie-Coxon is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, site-responsive artistic interactions, lens-based media, sculpture, public art, and ephemeral installations. Her practice examines how life on Earth is continuously shaped through humanity’s presence within a shared planetary system, operating at the intersection of body, land, and process, engaging both permanent and time-based forms.

Christie Coxon’s Circle Culture emerges from a long-term artistic investigation into the behaviour of materials and the symbolic capacity of circular form. Through decades of process-driven painting, the artist observed patterns of flow, accumulation, rupture, and renewal within the movement of liquid paint. These micro-scale behaviours gradually condensed into the recurring gesture she describes as the Fluid Loop — an imperfect circular form that embodies circulation, return, and transformation.

Working frequently in remote or fragile environments, she approaches sites as living systems. Elemental forces — wind, water, fire, light, gravity, and time — act as collaborators, while repurposed materials such as Soft Paintings serve as permeable interfaces. Many works are realised without a live audience and leave minimal physical trace, aligning with an ethos of ecological restraint and process-led inquiry.

Christie-Coxon’s nomadic practice reflects on contemporary conditions shaped by climate instability, extraction, displacement, and global interconnection. Through circular forms, embodied gestures, and site-responsive methodologies, her work examines dualities — individuality and universality, vulnerability and resilience, micro and macro scales — seeking points of connection within apparent division.

“My work reflects on the understanding that we are not separate from Nature but participants within a living continuum in which every action, material, and gesture circulates through interconnected ecological and cultural systems.

I explore these porous intersections, situating the human body as both witness and participant within larger systems of planetary change, registering vulnerability, responsibility, and belonging.

Often I create across countries and environments. Distinct landscapes — coastlines, deserts, forests, and urban thresholds — become sites of inquiry where local ecologies intersect with global conditions. Through these encounters the work asks what remains shared across cultures and environments, revealing the deep entanglement of humanity with the Earth and the evolutionary processes that continue to shape us all.”
