Chris Wood

Chris Wood

Chris Wood is an award winning artist based in the UK. Wood's medium is light. She uses a range of optical materials to harness patterns of light that suggest ephemeral glimpsed moments in the natural world.

Her unique approach to pattern is realised through her light responsive sculptures and integrated installations, which magnificently transform light into etherial displays of vibrant colour. Wood is recognised globally for her pioneering work using Dichroic. Dichroic is a colourless optical material that selectively reflects and transmits wavelengths of light, producing a variety of rainbow coloured shadows and projections. Her work brings a wistful romanticism to a minimalist aesthetic by ordering the accidental and making us reflect on the experience of seeing.

Wood's art can be found in various private collections and the Shanghai Museum of Glass, in addition to producing commissioned works such as those for Clé de Peau Beauté, Capital One, Nestle, Adobe, Johnson & Johnson and more.
