 Sculpture by Christina Lihan\, installation in New York City (c. 2020s)</e
 m></p>\n<p>Biography:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Using paper as her medium\, Florida-b
 ased sculptor&nbsp\;Christina Lihan&nbsp\;creates intricate artworks by ha
 nd-cutting\, folding\, scoring and carving layers of paper. All white\, sh
 adow and light become characters in the pieces: whether it is light filter
 ing through suspended compositions or lit from below to enhance shadow and
  form in a recent installation. Labor intensive\, her process is meditativ
 e and one of discovery for herself as well as the viewer. Her work employs
  the language and metaphors of architecture. An aesthetic and conceptual d
 iscussion is carried on through a subtle and rigorous understanding of the
 se elements\, as well as introducing questions from an environmental justi
 ce perspective.</p>\n<p>She is educated with a B.S. in Architecture from t
 he University of Virginia and a Masters in Architecture from Columbia Univ
 ersity. This education\, and practicing as an architect inspire her forms\
 , composition\, technique and illusion of depth. Utilizing perspective and
  scale\, she creates a sense of place in her pieces. Her work is influence
 d by living and working in Italy\, Paris\, London\, San Francisco and New 
 York City.</p>\n<p>Ms. Lihan was recently awarded a commission for eight l
 arge sculptures for a new hotel in central London. Solo exhibitions includ
 e the Citicorp Center in NYC\, the Palm Beach Preservation Foundation and 
 several locations in South Florida. She was awarded site specific installa
 tions at the Flatiron building in NYC and a showroom in downtown Chicago. 
 She has been part of group exhibitions internationally in Shanghai\, Tel A
 viv and Moscow\, and Atlanta\, Miami\, Fort Lauderdale and Chicago statesi
 de.</p>\nhttps://broward.libnet.info/event/9262098
