EXHIBITION
How do I feel now?
Chris Christodou exhibited his epic 100m charcoal drawing, The Odyssey, last year at Corpus Christ Church, Brixton. The drawing explored the subconscious, and a vivid landscape of dreams. By using that subconscious space, Chris interpreted and made tangible deeply hidden feelings.
How Do I Feel Now? brings together new work made in response to the drawing: it weaves the drawing into a new connected tapestry of stories.

Combining video projection, animation, drawing and printmaking, in How Do I Feel Now? Chris invites the viewer to explore his life (and maybe to reflect on their own!) through the stories he weaves, using memory, bringing past into the present, and referencing the everyday.
“..this notion of home – I’m forever looking for this idea of home. Home like a sense of belonging. So always trying to find a place where I feel… that’s always an ongoing search. Never quite getting there. And the drawing is part of that exploration, really.”
