Collection: Christy Haldane

After majoring in glass at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, Christy studied for a semester at the Canberra School of Art in Australia. It was in Australia that Haldane began to incorporate window glass as a constant in her sculptures.

In 2000, she began working with recycled window glass. Through experimentation she discovered this was a medium that fit her minimalist modern aesthetic. Working in series, she combines the glass with other common building materials, such as stone, concrete and steel enhancing the fragility and strength of the glass components. The sculptures consider humanity’s effect on the environment and the precarious balance in which the natural and artificial environments exist.

Because of the nature of the material, each piece is one of a kind.

Haldane lives on a hobby farm outside of Peterborough, Ontario. Her work ranges from small scale wearable art to large sculptural installations.
