Christie
Pearson is an artist, writer, and architect who has
helped design a number of award-winning buildings and public spaces.
Her participatory events and installations explore the intersections
of artistic disciplines, seeking to amplify our bodies’ relation
to our natural and constructed environments. Expressions of private
life in public spaces link solo and group work in Toronto and Tokyo.
The city is the context for spatial, political, and sensual artworks
that draw people into public spaces for collective play and consciousness-raising.
Projects have been featured in Canadian Architect and Mix magazines,
Alphabet City, web sites Anti-loft, Spacing, and Samplesize, and presented
at the Canadian Centre for Architecture.
