_ Bio: Christopher Duncan is a contemporary craft practitioner who specialises in hand weaving textiles. His practice moves between the making of textile for use in clothing and as object – challenging the idea of artisanal works as everyday useful objects. Duncan’s woven work stems from traditional techniques but combines non-repetitive lines at vertical and horizontal intersections. Breaking up the rigid forms typical to the cross sectional nature of the loom are inlaid motifs that are iterated across the textile. Duncan's work is exhibited throughout New Zealand and Japan and is held in the collections of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira.
