In creating her sculptures, she has frequently incorporated materials salvaged from the poisonous waste stream itself\u2013 including plastic netting, credit cards, discarded chicken bones and other cast off debris.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Confounded by the quantity\u00a0of plastic used to package fresh produce, Rupp decided to save\u00a0the\u00a0 netting bags and transformed them into\u00a0delicate, diaphanous bird sculptures. In this body of work from 2016-17, entitled \u201cSnagged\u201d, she\u00a0references\u00a0iconic birds from art history:\u00a0Fabritius&#8217; &#8220;Goldfinch\u201d, Miro\u2019s \u201cWomen Throwing a Stone at a Bird\u201d,\u00a0M.C. Escher,\u00a0 Joan Miro, Louise Bourgeois, Brancusi, Frida Kahlo, and Lee Bontecou, as well as John James Audubon. It is the artist\u2019s belief that our interest is stimulated when we see creatures objectified, rather than represented for their inherent wonder and complexity.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Christy Rupp has exhibited her art at The Barnes Foundation, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and NYC\u2019s Museum of Art and Design, to name a few.
