“Human Nature explores the relationship between the five fundamental dispositions of human beings through a neuro-philosophical lens and various Greek deities to explore how humans are influenced by the Greek myths while also serving as inspiration for the tales.”
Hi! I'm Christina - a recent graduate of OCADU's Material Art and Design program; specializing in jewellery making and metalsmithing. I also have experience in the woodshop, plastics/rapid prototyping, metal shop, textiles, ceramics, and printmaking. I am especially interested in industrial design / children's toy design, and a lot of my current work follows a sustainability initiative.
