Artist Bio:

Christine Orr (b. 1993) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work weaves together the tactile realms of clay, fiber, paper-making, and poetry. Based in Richmond, Virginia, her practice is an ongoing exploration of how humans and objects co-evolve; shaping, and being shaped by one another. Through a deep engagement with material culture, she investigates the intimate connections between domestic and utilitarian items, considering not only their functional roles but also their metaphorical and symbolic resonances. By examining the substances from which objects are made, she uncovers layers of meaning and speaks to the quiet stories embedded in the materials we often overlook. Christine holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University (2015) and a Master of Fine Arts in Craft/Material Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University (2021). As a professor of ceramics at both the University of Mary Washington and Virginia Commonwealth University, she continues to foster a dialogue between students and the physical world, guiding the next generation of artists in their explorations of craft and meaning.
