Chris Wood

Chris Wood is an award winning artist based in the UK. Wood's medium is light. She uses a range of optical materials to harness patterns of light that suggest ephemeral glimpsed moments in the natural world.

Her unique approach to pattern is realised through her light responsive sculptures and integrated installations, which magnificently transform light into etherial displays of vibrant colour. Wood is recognised globally for her pioneering work using Dichroic. Dichroic is  a colourless optical material that selectively reflects and transmits wavelengths of light, producing a variety of rainbow coloured shadows and projections. Her work brings a wistful romanticism to a minimalist aesthetic by ordering the accidental and making us reflect on the experience of seeing. 

Her artistry has captured the attention of a global audience, with her works being showcased in several esteemed private collections and esteemed institutions, such as the Shanghai Museum of Glass. Wood's craft extends to the creation of bespoke pieces, as evidenced by her commissioned works for  Clé de Peau Beauté, Capital One, Nestle, Adobe, Johnson & Johnson and more.
