Christie Serpentine is an interdisciplinary artist and landworker whose practice is driven by the tensions that exist between our inner and outer worlds. She creates sculptures, installations, and sensory experiences at the edge of where our existential light and shadow collide.

Serpentine’s story unfolds between city streets and wild landscapes. Born and raised in Philadelphia, to later working on Ecological projects across North America, Serpentine channels this duality of the industrial and the elemental through a material language of labor, care, and symbolism. She approaches her connection to land as a collaborative effort, finding guidance from the more-than-human realms as sources of wisdom and attunement. She builds and conceptualizes worlds shaped by fieldwork, metaphysical inquiry, and alchemy, seen through the lens of womanhood and myth.

Glass is central to her practice as it is infinitely volatile, cutting, and delicate while uniquely transmitting light. Its ability to hold contradiction, beauty, and emotional weight transforms its perceived limitations, mirroring the complexities of our human experience. In a world that demands armor, Serpentine's work challenges us to recognize that vulnerability and consciousness can act as our greatest source of strength & empowerment.
