Stopher Christensen

Over the past century machines and technology have rapidly implemented change in our social behaviour. Stopher Christensen employs thick glass as idiom for his idiosyncratic metaphors of social evolution. Using glass as the vehicle, Stopher speaks of the juxtapositions between strength and weakness, clarity and distortion, refinement and abandonment.
"I base the clean, minimalist aesthetic on the ideals of modernity, specifically exploring the impetus of technological change on sociocultural activities. Through a juxtaposed amalgamation of historical happenings, with current events, I attempt to observe today's world, in the desire of capturing the vernacular of tomorrow's epoch."
Stopher Christensen is an Ontario based glass artist.He studied the art of glass sculpting at Sheridan Collage. It was at Sheridan that Christensen also studied Feng Shui, which is a direct influence on his glass sculpture.
His travels to Holland, Germany, Switzerland, England, and New York have also influenced his work.

Christensen has shown his work in many galleries and exhibitions in Ontario and Quebec. He has also shown his glass sculpture in the United States with much success.

Over the years he has received many awards and scholarships for his glass work, including the Ontario Crafts Council Scholarship, and Mayor’s Award for Business and the Arts, Oakville, Ontario.
