Biography
Chrissie Heughan studied Fine Art (Hons) Drawing and Printmaking at Edinburgh college of Art. Whilst searching for interesting surfaces to print upon, she experimented with paper pulps and became absorbed with the making of and process of hand cast paper. The process underpinned work for her degree and has done since.
Life 'after art school' started in 1996, when she was asked to run a series of paper casting workshops for The Waverley Care Trust, for those affected by the HIV virus, eventually constructing a gigantic book of paper memories of the participants,
Since 1997, she has had a studio at esw where she can work with paper pulps to form surfaces to print or collage upon, or to build new paper forms. Chrissie has had residencies in Japan and USA and travelled to India. A professional member of the Society of Scottish Artists, she exhibits nationally and internationally.
A professional development opportunity with bronze casting in 2005, lead to the making of metal casts of folded paper origami, playing with the notion of transience and permanence; tenuous paper as opposed to the bulk of metal. These opposites reflect in the making process, paper requires much water and metal casting requires fire.
