Personicx

The publication focuses on a collection of A4 collages, prints, and drawings by the artist shown at 1:1 scale--facsimiles which maintain an uneasy tension between reality and the squashed surface of the screen. Across each page, characters are introduced, reworked, and recast--imposed over the exhibition documentation, text and checklist, and beneath the twisting silhouette of a ballerina. These exploratory exercises were central to the development of a group of “unboxing paintings” included in When studying the world, the artist's debut solo exhibition at Charity, Glasgow in 2023. Acoompanying Christy's work, the book features a new text by artist Ben Maxwell titled The Terrifying Space of the Picture.
