Christopher Norman Projects

American 
Christopher Norman is a licensed architect, and has created wood furniture and abstract sculpture for 20 years.
Norman's work is an exploration of form in natural materials. His work references familiar forms produced throughout history as domestic vessels, architectural shapes, and mathematical ideals. From within these vocabularies, he creates forms in scales and contexts that render a shift from the original.
For Norman's wood forms, he uses freshly cut trees rather than buying industrially conditioned material. After the piece leaves the studio, the finished work continues to shift as it conditions naturally. In the tradition of green-woodworking, the final shape and integrity come after the worked material achieves equilibrium with its environment.
Norman's influences include; the exoticism of ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman forms, the super-human scale of the industrial landscape of his native Michigan, and the monumental Minimalist sculpture American 60's and 70's
