About Christopher
Christopher Young was born in small-town New Zealand in the mid-seventies. After finishing his studies he moved to Germany in 1996 before settling in Western Australia in 2002.
Isolation is a recurring theme in his life and artwork – the remoteness of growing up in semi-rural New Zealand, the loneliness of living in Germany as a poor German speaker and lately the geographic and ideological seclusion of life in Australia, have all coloured his artistic practice.
Context, coding in images and a lack of a personal cultural library have been central themes explored in his work.
He majored in Photography and exhibits on a regular basis in Western Australia where he now lives with his artist wife. Christopher supports his practice by working in the Graphic Design and Print industries.
Christopher runs creative and technical workshops through his studio at No.29 in Margaret River. Artist residencies and accommodation options are also available.
