Christopher Edwards

Christopher Edwards began working in ceramics in 2012 and has a background in graphic design. Drawing from this unique combination of influences, Edwards makes sculpture inspired by the algorithmic geometry of the natural world and the visual language of human technology. His resulting hand-built forms are intricate reflections of the natural and the manufactured, often blurring any distinction between the two.

His work has been shown widely, including at the Honolulu Museum of Art, and is included in several collections, including the Honolulu Museum of Art, the University of Hawaii, and private collections internationally. Awards include 1st place in three dimensional category, 40th Annual “Commitment to Excellence” Art Exhibition, Honolulu, HI, 2018, The Ginny McGargahan Award of Excellence sponsored by the Timothy Y. C. Choy Fund, 2016, and the The Peter Drewliner Award sponsored by the Peter Drewliner Trust, 2015. Edwards lives and works in Honolulu, Hawaii.
