Red Indigo

Christopher Nitsche builds sculptures and installations that evoke the visual and metaphorical attributes of ships. His installations range from structures and passageways to walk through, to recent works with hull-side cutaways allowing visual access to memory spaces. The full-scale ship installations engage the exhibition space physically and the viewer psychologically. He builds installations primarily from urban detritus and incorporates neon, argon, and LED lighting to enhance the perceptual experience.
