Christina La Sala's work measures the passage of time as a sensual process, enacted upon and through the body, and materially marked in skeletons and fossils. La Sala is captivated by the accretive process inherent in these creations, where physical form is a testament to the life cycle's unfolding narrative. Enamored by the spiraling visual language that emerges from repetition and adaptation, La Sala finds profound beauty in the organic evolution of these structures, each coil telling a story of resilience and adaptation.
Christina La Sala is a scavenger, a collector, a researcher and a maker—of things, tools, and spaces. She was born in Philadelphia and currently lives in San Francisco. La Sala received her BFA from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University Philadelphia, PA and her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She spent her childhood in thrift shops, nature museums, and libraries where she developed a life-long love of dusty spaces, old things, the natural sciences, and visual display.
