Biography
Christopher Young was born in New Zealand in the mid-seventies. After finishing his studies he moved to Germany in 1996 before settling in Perth, Western Australia in 2002. He then moved to Margaret River in 2017. Isolation is a recurring theme in his life and work – the remoteness of growing up in semi-rural New Zealand, the loneliness of living in Germany as a poor German speaker and since 2002 the geographic and ideological seclusion of life in Australia, have all coloured his artistic practice. Context, broader concepts surrounding the use of captions and a lack of a personal cultural library have been central themes explored in his work.
