Abstract sculpture by GChris is mission-driven.  GChris sculpture supports our creating and sustaining large, positive change and achieving a thriving world.  "Art as advocacy; advocacy as art." 

The call to artists and people generally is to embrace both art and advocacy, use their synergy, and advance toward a thriving future.

Advanced by the art are mission-driven values - creating and sustaining large positive change and a thriving future, reducing human vulnerability, maximizing human potential, saving our environment, and living at "peace on and with the earth."  Underlying it all is the driving desire to "build a thriving future", as best as we as people can.

Toward that end, GChris abstract mobiles and stabiles help drive toward a positive vision of the future.  They portray strong driving forces -- the desire for knowledge, spirit and justice. High level thought, being, and positive interrelationships are not ends but new foundations from which progress springs.  The sculpture supports the continuous striving for absolute knowledge, absolute spirit and perfected being with full recognition this is an inevitable, unending, inspiring and liberating human enterprise.

To achieve the vision, they also help explore threats of vulnerability, conflict, and chaos. The mobiles and stabiles address these threats, glean whatever positives they contain, and advocate major progression from these threats -- large, positive, sustainable change.

Positive, progressive change has many expressions -- becoming, ascending, quantum leaps, and achieving a high state of being.  Change itself is often not positive or linear. Vulnerability, conflict and chaos are realities. Such change requires strong and continuing support -- shepherding, nurturing, sheltering and uplifting.

To create the progressive art, the mobiles and stabiles are created from the most basic of elements. Lines represent beginning, negative, or threat. Curves represent change, transition, or evolution. Circles represent being, wholeness, or, at times, nothingness.

When these basic elements join and are in motion as mobiles and stabiles, they carry the message of "large, creative and sustainable change," a strong optimistic expression of the human condition, living in peace on and with the earth, and the driving mission of building a thriving future.
