ABOUT

CRISTOPHER CICHOCKI combines organic and synthetic, macro and micro, Earth Art and BioArt to investigate the effects of industrialization on land and sea. His site-specific, multi-sensory environmental interventions suggest strange new floras rising from human waste and hubris. Cristopher's home, in the blistering Southern California desert, is a half hour out of Salton Sea, a saline lake drained out to feed cities and farms hundreds of miles away, that now threatens to make an entire region uninhabitable from the toxic fumes spewing out of its bed. The land is ever-present in Cristopher’s work -- at once arid and dangerously alive.
