Christina currently has an exhibition of work from her project, Markers of Time,  running September 19th - November 19th at the Perlman Museum at Carleton College in Northfield, MN.

MARKERS OF TIME considers our ever-changing relationship to the planet and to systems of time. Works culled from expeditionary travels to the arctic and the tropics examine understandings of time and place. 

Photographic prints and filmic projections, mirroring scientific and art historical visual conventions, focus on three conceptual categories related to time and duration: JUGIS (constant), METRA (measure), and MUTO (change).
